Sorry for the late reply.  I didn't see there was a reply to the report
(I'm not subscribed to this list... I check the archives from time to
time though.)

The problem is in 3rd-party applications.  GNUnet itself correctly reads
its config files from the correct directories.  However, if the
GNUNET_OS_ProjectData structure holds different values, the application
doesn't work.

The main problem is that it can't connect to GNUnet services, so the
error is that `GNUNET_CLIENT_connect' returns NULL when making a
connection.

For a concrete error message, using `GNUNET_IDENTITY_ego_lookup' (which
makes an implicit connection to the IDENTITY service) when .config_file
and .user_config_file are different from "gnunet.conf" and
"~/.config/gnunet.conf" respectively, it fails with the following
message:

ERROR Assertion failed at identity_api_lookup.c:202.

The line in question is a `GNUNET_break' called when
`GNUNET_CLIENT_connect' returns NULL.

The error does not happen if the configuration file (either one, as long
as it exists) is the same as GNUnet itself.

I attached a minimal program for testing this issue.  It simply calls
`GNUNET_IDENTITY_ego_lookup'.  If it successfully connects, it will
print wether or not the ego "test-ego" exists; otherwise, it will fail
with the above message.

Thanks,
A.V.
