Breaks in non-obvious ways when control socket path has no slashes

Hi,
I made a torrc and I wanted to run tor with it but it didn't work and didn't say why:
weasel@defiant:~/tmp/tor$ tor -f torrc

ControlSocket sock
StrictNodes 1Turns out that in get_parent_directory, called via retry_listener_ports connection_listener_new check_location_for_unix_socket get_parent_directory the path "sock" gets rejected, but nobody bothers logging about it.
connection_listener_new returns a NULL conn and we tear down stuff again.
It works if I specify ControlSocket ./sock.
