Comment:

 We forgot to append "/Tor" in the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR case. Here is a revised
 patch:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 launcher.git/commit/?h=bug20185-02&id=4dd8f6130f931616cf014e0ded444c30e04c8bad

 We also improved some error checking, added missing braces, and fixed the
 confusing comment.
 Please review.
