 The TorCtl authenticate_password passes the password directly to the
 control socket without escaping quotes. For more information see...
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4600

 Fixing this should be as simple as uncommenting the hex translation or
 doing...
 secret = secret.replace('"', '\\"')
