 Reloading TB's Tor instance disables network and keeps it turned off
 because it fails to attach to the SocksPort.
 One has to change the SocksPort, enable the network and change back the
 SocksPort with nyx:
 {{{
 >>> signal reload
 250 OK

 >>> getconf disablenetwork
 250 DisableNetwork=1

 >>> setconf disablenetwork=0
 553 Unable to set option: Failed to bind one of the listener ports.

 >>> setconf socksport=9152
 250 OK

 >>> setconf disablenetwork=0
 250 OK

 >>> setconf socksport=9150
 250 OK
 }}}
