Comment:

 Yeah giving access to control port to torsocks is a dangerous move. Since
 torsocks basically lives in an application, a single flaw could be very
 dangerous to tor since it could be accessed using torsocks.

 I would much prefer Tor writing to a file it's SocksPort instead. Closing
 this one because for now I NACK it.
