Comment(by arma):

 The fix can't be just to make the elements of the hashed table into linked
 lists -- context matters in the torrc file for a few config options (like
 the order in hidden service declarations).

 I think our best bet is to have a simple way to tell Tor that the
 following string is its new config. But really, this is all messy -- do
 you tell Tor to wipe out previous config changes before applying this
 string? What if Vidalia had some boxes checked somewhere that e.g. turn
 you into a relay, but you don't have those lines in the torrc box?
