Comment (by atagar):

 Oh, just thought of something. If you call tor_process.stdout.close() does
 this still manifest? If not then that's a pretty trivial fix to make in
 launch_tor().

 No for a couple reasons:

 1. It doesn't tell us when we *can* connect to the control port. We could
 poll instead, but reading stdout is better.

 2. The launch_tor() function simply launches tor, it doesn't require that
 the user has a control port.

 I recall you asking this on an earlier ticket too.
