Comment(by cypherpunks):

 This bug seems like it goes back to Tor alpha and its SOCKS port. Editing
 SOCK manually to 9150 in the new torrc works as it should.

 So what's the issue here? Alpha Tor (v0.2.4.1) using SOCKS 9050 and
 Vadalia (within TBB v2.3.25-4) reading that SOCKS from Tor (as I don't see
 a torrc for installed alpha Tor anywhere), then Vadalia overwriting TBB's
 torrc with the new one generated from the alpha Tor? If so, it seems the
 problem is with alpha Tor's default SOCKS port.

 In any case, I've done about as much I can do (time and skill wise) to
 help track down this issue. I'll shut-up now. Thanks much mo!
