 So, there is an unconfirmed report on #tor that arm produces torrc files
 with DisableDebuggerAttachment 0. If that is the case, and there's no
 reason for it, we should stop doing that.

 <teor> tim_: also, why DisableDebuggerAttachment 0?
 <tim_> teor, I have in my configs not sure where it came from. if it
 doesn't really do anything I can remove it
 <teor> tim_: it reduces security by enabling debugger attachment to the
 tor process. This can be used by an adversary to extract keys.
 <murb> tim_: do you use arm?
 <tim_> murb: yes i use arm. i think that is where it came from
 <teor> tim_: hmm, I'd consider that a bug in arm
