Comment(by bastik):

 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
 > I have a hunch that if we test this with Tor alone, and not with
 Vidalia, it will turn out not to actually be a Tor bug.  Anybody got a
 chance to try it out?

 I guess you are true.

 Not sure if I can test this as I don't think Windows supports sending
 SIGHUP (or any other signal) to a process. (please tell me otherwise).

 It seems to turn out that when I apply two socks lines with Vidalia only
 the bottom one survives. If I edit the torrc (re-adding the lost line) and
 restart Tor it binds to two socks ports. So maybe just one bug in Vidalia.
