Description
When running under an alternate user on Android 4.4.2 the path to control.txt is wrong causing a failure to start up.
This only broke in a recent update.
The path variable is apparently wrong for the multi-user internal storage of the orbot install directory on the nexus 7. The path that does work for the admin (base) user is "/data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/control.txt". The path /data/user/10/..etc doesn't exist.

Having the exact same issue on a fresh install of Cyanogenmod 11.0 (Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.77-cyanogenmod-gb25714b)
Please fix, I went to Cyanogenmod specifically to clean up the bloatware and tor everything. :)
