Comment (by zax):

 Should this message be a more generic, "You're sharing a process between
 Hidden Services and other Tor functions"?  People running, for example, a
 bridge also (quite correctly) get warned but then the message is slightly
 misleading.

 It may also be the case that running multiple Hidden Services under a
 single process exposes a similar risk of leaking traffic info.
