Hello,

I made the diff for trunk, but the patch seems to apply cleanly 
to 0.2.0.30, as well. ie:

Macintosh:tor-0.2.0.30 chrisd$ patch -p0 < pf_open_startup.patch
patching file src/or/config.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1022 (offset -38 lines).
patching file src/or/connection_edge.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 1633 (offset -8 lines).
patching file src/or/or.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 2855 (offset -84 lines).
