 Riastradh on IRC reported this with `test_rebind.sh`:

 {{{
 Tor logged: "Nov 21 20:08:11.296 [warn] Error creating directory
 /home/riastradh/.tor:
 }}}

 That test is not using a temporary dir (example: mktemp -d) so tor is
 using the default one which is `~/.tor`.

 Really not good, out tests should not poke $HOME whatsoever unless we
 change it. Solution would be to create a temp dir, spawn Tor pointing it
 to that path and then remove it.
