Comment (by nickm):

 Hm. I'm a bit surprised that we give both of these errors:
 {{{
 May 13 20:30:23.000 [warn] Error setting configured user: debian-tor not
 found
 May 13 20:30:23.000 [err] do_main_loop(): Bug: Error initializing keys;
 exiting
 }}}

 The first one could be if we have some file we're trying to read, but the
 sandbox isn't letting us read it.  But we should only be installing the
 sandbox after we setuid!

 So maybe we need to tinker with the relative ordering of RunAsDaemon,
 switch_id, and sandbox_init.
