Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:5 rransom]:
 > Vidalia seems to rewrite torrc files.

 Really? I think Vidalia asks Tor to saveconf a new torrc file. I'm not
 sure about chiiph's new "arbitrary edits on your config" box in the
 Advanced window, but that should also not be touching your torrc directly.

 > Arm definitely parses them.

 If so, I might call that a bug in arm. Or at least, a feature that's going
 to repeatedly bite it and its users.

 > Even humans editing a torrc file would benefit from documentation.

 Good point.
