Comment:

 I wrote a patch to make get_datadir_fname() always returns an absolute
 path.
 I save the current directory in the tor_init function and use it to create
 the absolute path.

 Here is my branch:
 https://github.com/Jigsaw52/tor/tree/relative_path_fix_22101

 Also, I believe this is also causing #20456.
