New description:
Tor 0.2.2.x adds the ability to configure ports with "FooPort auto", and
get Tor to choose a port on its own. However, these ports will almost
certainly not be the same across invocations of Tor, which makes them
unsuitable for ORPort and DirPort usage.
Tor should record the values chosen for published (that is, ORPort and
DirPort) "auto" ports, and try to reuse them in later invocations. Of
course, if those ports aren't available, it'll need to choose a new port
anyway.
