Comment (by isis):

 My patch sets `TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD='secret'`, and then in the
 `setControlPortPasswd()` function it specifically ignores the password if
 it is set to `'secret'`:

 {{{
     test -z "$ctrlPasswd" -o "$ctrlPasswd" = $'\"secret\"' && return
 }}}

 But I'll check one of the nightlies tonight.
