 A long-time bug in the Vidalia's Advanced settings tab:

 When you edit the current torrc file, clicking OK to save the changes
 results in an error message.
 The changes can only be saved after you delete the comment lines (that
 begin with a "#" sign) at the top of torrc.

 Can the initial torrc file template be improved so that its comments do
 not cause this error?

 Thanks.
