     I see the problem.  I'm running 0.3.1.6-rc at present, 0.3.2.1-alpha
has been installed since I last started tor, and the timestamp on the man
page says "Oct 2 2012". :-(  Now I have to track down why the man page
updates have not been getting installed.  Sigh.  Sorry for that bit of noise.
     The other questions remain, however, including the one above.
