Tried one last time, giving up on 0.2.1.7-alpha

[Kyle Williams]

I thought you could run tor without a torrc file and it will default to
client mode with default settings.Also, I did a build with 0.2.1.7-alpha
about two weeks ago with no problems.
Are you building from source?  Are you using a pre-packaged version?  Where
did you get it from?
