If Tor loads a configuration file containing e.g. “`DataDirectory
$TBB_ROOT/Data/Tor/`” and then saves it without special care to keep the
original values of its options around, Tor will write e.g. “`DataDirectory
G:\Tor Browser/Data/Tor`”. That is a very very bad bug, as it means that
(at a minimum) Tor Browser Bundle would no longer be portable.
