Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I were apparently lucky; our installation paths are fairly
 short.

 The longest Unix domain socket path that can be used on Linux is 108
 bytes. See:
 https://linux.die.net/man/7/unix

 On OSX, it is even shorter at 104 bytes:
 https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man4/unix.4.html

 Should we be placing the sockets in /tmp instead of in the tor data
 directory? I think we would need to create a subdirectory with
 sufficiently restrictive permissions (tor does some permission checks).
