Comment (by arma):

 {{{
 #ifndef _WIN32
     /* We don't need to be root to create a UNIX socket, so defer until
 after
      * setuid. */
     const or_options_t *options = get_options();
     if (port->is_unix_addr && !geteuid() && (options->User) &&
         strcmp(options->User, "root"))
       continue;
 #endif /* !defined(_WIN32) */
 }}}

 is where we defer opening the control socket listener
