Are you concerned about the fact that we do not check the path length in the `/tmp/Tor` case? Our assumption is that such a path will not be too long (and we have no additional options). I am just confused about the comment above this function because I somehow fail to see how `null` gets returned if the destination would be too long. -- Ticket URL: <https://troodi.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20185#comment:14> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
