Comment (by dcf):

 I haven't been able to test this bug on an actual installation of
 Mavericks.

 Using `./` doesn't appear to work. Setting an absolute path is a good
 workaround, but going forward we need to figure out what the actual
 relative path should be.

 asn: my guess is that somehow either Tor's working directory or the
 default `PATH` within app bundles has changed in Mavericks.

 Maybe someone could try this? It won't make your bundle run, but it will
 give us information we need to solve the problem. Create a file
 `/tmp/pathtest.sh` with the contents:
 {{{
 #!/bin/sh
 pwd >> /tmp/pathtest.txt
 echo $PATH >> /tmp/pathtest.txt
 }}}
 Make it executable:
 {{{
 chmod +x /tmp/pathtest.sh
 }}}
 Add a line to `torrc`:
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin pathtest exec /tmp/pathtest.sh
 }}}
 Then double-click to run the bundle. The "pathtest" transport will of
 course fail, but it will create a file `/tmp/pathtest.txt` containing the
 information that I think will help us. If the information contains your
 username or anything like that, you can feel free to obscure it.

 Here is what `/tmp/pathtest.txt` looks like for me on OS X 10.8:
 {{{
 /Users/david/bundle/TorBrowser_en-US.app/Contents/MacOS
 /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
 }}}
