What is on lines 118 and 127?
This could be a bug in Tor, where it changes the options it would write out,
(if you asked it to write out your torrc file) rather than changing its
internal idea of those options.

Please log a ticket under Core Tor / Tor with the names of those options at:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/newticket

What is on line 117?
This could be a bug in Tor, or it could be a bug in arm.

The default nickname is NULL, which gets changed to "Unnamed" on relays.

So if your nickname is different to "Unnamed", log a bug against
Core Tor / Nyx (the new name for arm).
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/newticket

And please also log a ticket under Core Tor / Tor saying that we are
modifying Nickname from its default value, and writing it out again,
rather than modifying our idea of it internally.
