 Replying to [comment:2 erinn]:
 > Hi, I fixed this in the expert package. This definitely should not be
 happening in the vidalia bundles though, looking into that now...

 So what I have right now is a freshly-downloaded relay bundle with the
 default torrc accepted (just downloaded this hour). Events are:

 1. Vidalia GUI opens fine

 2. But when starting Tor, Vidalia throws error "Vidalia detected that the
 Tor software exited unexpectedly. Please check the message log for recent
 warning or error messages."

 3. Message log in Vidalia GUI is empty.

 4. In Vidalia message log GUI, added logging to file all the way to debug
 level. Vidalia will create the log file, but after Tor start error,
 nothing is actually logged.

 5. In torrc, added line "Log debug file
 c:\users\[me]\desktop\filename.txt" (also tried .log).  After Vidalia's
 Tor start failure, no file is created; nothing written to that file if
 pre-existing.

 6. (Unrelated?).  In Vidalia GUI, clicking "edit current torrc" launches
 the editor but shows only a blank file. Navigating to the file as
 displayed in the Vidalia GUI's "Tor Configuration File" path and opening
 it with WordPad shows that the torrc is in fact populated with both
 commented-out and active settings.  Lines added through the GUI's torrc
 editor do not modify the file.

 7. Double-clicking the Tor application itself throws the libssp-0 error.
