 I maintain the openSUSE package and had an issue with the initscript as
 it's build from contrib/suse/tor.sh.in . It expects /var/run/tor to exist.
 The package contains %ghost on /var/run/tor because contents in /var/run
 are disallowed by packaging rules.

 See [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671821 openSUSE bug
 671821]

 Attached a patch which makes the initscript create the directory if
 required.
