Now back out and refuse the setconf if it would fail. - If you specify a relative torrc path and you set RunAsDaemon in your torrc, then it chdir()'s to the new directory. If you then HUP, it tries to load the new torrc location, fails, and exits. The fix: no longer allow a relative path to torrc when using -f. - Check for integer overflows in more places, when adding elements(Continue reading)
