 if you want to run multiple tor instances on machine then tor should
 prefer configuration in user home over system wide torrc as documented in
 man page:

 ''(Default: $HOME/.torrc, or /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc if that file is not
 found''

 from ktrace tor reads /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc-defaults first (this is
 good) but then do not search for .torrc in user $HOME and loads system
 wide torrc which will fail because other copy of tor is already running.
