Summary: Privoxy on OS X will not start

Initial Comment:
I just installed privoxy on OS X 10.6 and it wouldn't start, although launchctl thought it did. The reason was that the config file looks for the default files in . and it cannot find them. 

My workaround was to add "/usr/local/etc/privoxy" as the working directory in /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ijbswa.privoxy.plist
Alternatively one could change the /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config

I think this is a manifestation of the "100% CPU" problem.  What
happens is some site has massive amounts of whitespace in their
HTML that you don't ultimately see, but Privoxy spends a lot of
time trying to filter it all.  The interim solution is to keep
Privoxy from filtering that particular site in the user.action
file.  Of course, once Privoxy starts spinning, it'll need to be
killed and restarted.

The problem is in the js-annoyances and the unsolicited-popups
filters.  If you turn those off in general (or for your problem
site(s) in particular) I think you'll have better luck.  Can you
please give that a try?

Message:
Hi,

Yes, a tester notified me of this fault just yesterday; it affects only
vanilla installs. I intend to release a corrected installer (correcting the
omission in the config file) later today.

Many thanks,

Ian
