#15434: Tor dies if you send it a HUP before it read its config, and doesn't take
PTs with it

 Priority:  normal  |      Milestone:

--------------------+---------------------------------
 When sending tor a HUP before it has read its config, it will die, without
 killing its PTs. Starting tor again will then result in more PT crashes,
 as the ports will already be used by previous instances.
