Tor warns about public SocksPort addresses twice on startup

(moved from #4018 (moved))

Sep 14 04:11:29.518 [notice] Tor v0.2.3.4-alpha (git-5f4f727d58daa194). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on OpenBSD i386)
Sep 14 04:11:29.519 [notice] Read configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc".
Sep 14 04:11:29.519 [warn] You specified a public address for SocksPort. Other people on the Internet might find your computer and use it as an open proxy. Please don't allow this unless you have a good reason.
Sep 14 04:11:29.521 [warn] It's a little hard to tell, but you seem to have Libevent 1.4.0-beta header files, whereas you have linked against Libevent 1.4.14b-stable.  This will probably make Tor crash.
Sep 14 04:11:29.523 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.14b-stable using method kqueue. Good.
Sep 14 04:11:29.524 [warn] You specified a public address for SocksPort. Other people on the Internet might find your computer and use it as an open proxy. Please don't allow this unless you have a good reason.
Sep 14 04:11:29.524 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
Sep 14 04:11:29.524 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 192.168.7.1:9050
Sep 14 04:11:29.524 [notice] Opening Control listener on 127.0.0.1:9071

Tor is warning about a single SocksPort that it thinks is bound to a public address twice: once when it reads the config file, and a second time when it opens the listeners.

(192.168.7.1 isn't a public address; that bug is #4018 (moved).)
