Comment:

 PR 924 above looks good to me.  I have confirmed that it works with all
 kinds of junk in my torrc, the system torrc, and the system torrc-
 defaults.

 I have opened #30526 to handle the geoip issue.  I think we should merge
 this branch as it is, and backport to 0.3.5, since it is undesirable to
 launch Tor with a user's configuration for testing purposes.
