 Oops. Thanks!

 > 2. Why do we have a new param for getTorFile()? Do we expect more calls
 with `aMustExist === false`? If not, why not just omit that param (and do
 something like `"control_socket" == aTorFileType` again) or at least
 rename it to something more descriptive than `aMustExist` (like
 `aControlSocket`)?

 Kathy and I like your suggestion. Here is a revised patch:
