 I set up a relay on Windows with these two lines as the first lines in my
 torrc:

 {{{
 DataDirectory C:\Users\karsten\tor\
 Log notice file notice.log
 }}}

 Guess what happens?  My DataDirectory is now in `"C:\Users\karsten\torLog
 notice file notice.log"` and I don't have a log file.

 While this makes sense to me now, I was quite surprised.  Not sure if
 there's an easy fix to this or if it's worth fixing at all.
