 When a user launches two tor processes in the same data directory, they
 get these confusing logs:
 {{{
 Mar 29 17:45:08.000 [warn] It looks like another Tor process is running
 with the same data directory.  Waiting 5 seconds to see if it goes away.
 Mar 29 17:45:13.000 [err] No, it's still there.  Exiting.
 Mar 29 17:45:13.000 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options
 left us in a broken state. Dying. (on Tor 0.4.2.7 )
 Mar 29 17:45:13.000 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
 Mar 29 19:55:41.000 [notice] Catching signal TERM, exiting cleanly.
 }}}

 I don't think the bug log should be there.
