#13733: tor should not stop for a change of the config value
DisableDebuggerAttachment

--------------------+-------------------------------
 If the config value DisableDebuggerAttachment is changed (to let arm show
 the inbound/outbound connections at page 2 of the arm tool too, otherwise
 just circuits are shown) and tor is advised to re-read the config file, it
 stops with :
 {{{
 Nov 11 19:33:44.000 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: While Tor is
 running, disabling DisableDebuggerAttachment is not allowed.
 Nov 11 19:33:44.000 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above. For
 usage, try -h.
 Nov 11 19:33:44.000 [warn] Restart failed (config error?). Exiting.
 }}}

 This is a bad behaviour in my eyes.
