Comment:

 This should be fixed in TBB 3.6.

 Wrt to the alternate control port issue, you can possibly set the
 TOR_CONTROL_HOST, TOR_CONTROL_PORT, TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD, and/or
 TOR_CONTROL_COOKIE_AUTH_FILE env vars prior to launching TBB for that, but
 it is unsupported behavior. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces,
 though I will accept patches to improve the situation. If you end up
 needing to make such a patch, file a new ticket, and tag it with
 MikePerry201405R (or the correct month) once a patch is ready.
