Comment (by mcs):

 To prevent this problem, we can modify the code that removes lines from
 torrc to remove Unix domain socket lines even when Tor Launcher is going
 to use TCP for the ControlPort and SocksPort. To try to avoid removing
 torrc lines that the user may have added themselves, the code should check
 that the path in the ControlPort and SocksPort lines matches what Tor
 Launcher would use if it were configured to use Unix domain sockets by
 default.
