 It is now believed that my c2bd8a5f070e771623aebfb66e95e9e954e5522d commit
 (not the logging to file part, but the rest of it) might fix #12941 for
 Linux users. We probably want it, and if necessary I can revise it to
 remove the logfile portion and keep the rest.

 Also, while looking over HTTPSEverywhere a couple weeks ago, with a fresh
 copy of Tor Browser, HTTPSEverywhere appeared to no longer logging URIs.
 (My friend from the EFF and I used it for about 20 minutes or so and
 didn't see any.) Perhaps if HTTPSEverywhere has fixed this, then logging
 to file is no longer such a drastic issue?
