Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 teor]:
 > "~" expansion is a missing feature, not a bug. Your shell does it, many
 other contexts do not. See #28311.

 It is true that we don't call expand_filename() consistently on other
 config options. #28311 is a great ticket for tracking that (orthogonal)
 issue.

 > But you've found another bug in Tor's config handling. On my machine, it
 results in a crash and a spurious call to free(). See #28312.

 Turns out that ticket is a duplicate of #27708.

 So I think we resume being good to review/merge this fix. And we could
 still want somebody to add unit tests if they want.
