It's much better to use a unix socket for the control connection.

ControlPort unix:/path/no/spaces

(There's a bug in parsing control socket paths with spaces that's fixed
in 0.2.9.4-alpha, but not 0.2.8.)

Loopback interfaces and jails have a tendency to leave your control port
open on a public IP address if configured incorrectly. Some jail setups
default to this insecure mode.
