 Tor puts “`TOR_PT_EXTENDED_SERVER_PORT=127.0.0.1:4200`” in the environment
 of every managed proxy it starts, because proposal 180 ‘requires’ that Tor
 pass that environment variable.  Even if we keep that ‘required’ in the
 spec, we would be better off leaving that environment variable out than
 filling it with a plausible but utterly bullshit value like that.
