Comment (by cypherpunks):

 After reading what the [https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#TBBSocksPort
 FAQ] said on this subject, I found that a design decision was made to
 allow a Tor Browser to be running alongside a ''system'' Vidalia+Tor
 instance.
 Under these circumstances a user would have two Vidalia instances running
 in parallel, requiring the use of separate ``ControlPort``s and
 ``SocksPort``s for each instance.

 The amended solution would `define` what to build in the makefile, or use
 environment variables in the build script, and look something like this:

 {{{
 #ifdef BUILD_TBB
 #define DEFAULT_CONTROLPORT 9151
 #define DEFAULT_SOCKSPORT 9150
 #endif

 #ifdef BUILD_VIDALIA
 #define DEFAULT_CONTROLPORT 9051
 #define DEFAULT_SOCKSPORT 9050
 #endif
 }}}


 '''NOTE:''' this is a suggested solution that would solve several bugs,
 but it needs review (and edits) by someone from the regular tor-dev staff.
