 In the context of #7182, another extremely confusing issue is that on
 Windows, TBB will open a Tor listener on 9050 first and if it can't, it
 will open a random port. I propose that all TBB releases follow this
 convention - open 9050 or a random port. This in theory will allow people
 to just install TBB if they need Tor Browser and if they want to use Tor
 generally, they will get it without any fuss as long as they start *any*
 Tor related software (eg: Vidalia bundle, TBB, system Tor + TBB, etc).
