#3874: If tor dies while vidalia is waiting for port.conf, vidalia should notice
better

 1) Vidalia launches Tor
 2) Waits to read port.conf to find out how to talk to Tor
 3) Tor dies (seg faults or something)
 4) After a short pause, Vidalia complains that it couldn't read port.conf.

 There should be a step 3.5 where Vidalia realizes that the Tor process
 isn't around anymore, and *that*'s probably why the port.conf file didn't
 show up. Then it can give the user a better hint about what went wrong.
