Comment:
Have you tried having an old tor, starting Vidalia but not starting tor,
then enabling the automatic control port, and finally starting tor? It
should fail, because it never checks the version before setting this
value. It works as it is right now, because the checkbox isn't displayed
if Vidalia doesn't know anything about tor.
You should add version checking to prevent this situation.
