 As mentioned [comment:6 above], we're **currently** pegged at
 `9f2e9a6ecb696149708716ca06ce842df03cf492`,

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 build.git/tree/projects/snowflake/config#n4

 which wants to create the log file in the state dir,
 https://github.com/keroserene/snowflake/blob/9f2e9a6ecb696149708716ca06ce842df03cf492/client/snowflake.go#L125-L133

 This will continue to be a problem until we bump the version.
