Comment:

 All right, it is messed up, and mcs is right that my patch did it. Looking
 back on the .orig files from my rebasing, it looks like I missed a couple
 lines. Oops, sorry about that.

 The fix is to `unset TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD` before the `return` from
 `setControlPasswd()` in `RelativeLink/RelativeLink.sh`. It's one tiny
 [https://github.com/isislovecruft/tor-browser-
 bundle/commit/798f147f44ff80d2104ed3b0162f17198dd2a4f2 commit], in my
 `bug12624-controlpasswd-unset` [https://github.com/isislovecruft/tor-
 browser-bundle/tree/bug12624-controlpasswd-unset branch].
