 Maybe not; I thought I'd seen you open one. :/

 > As for torsocks, the question is what do you do if the OP ends up
 returning an error?  torsocks must have already told the SOCKS client that
 the connect() succeeded, so it could, what, just cause subsequent read()
 and write() calls to the socket to return -1 and set errno to something
 plausible?  Hopefully the SOCKS client would notice that, close the
 socket, and report an error (though probably not the right one).

 I think that's about right; ECONNRESET seems like a good error here.  We'd
 probably want to have a way to disable this too.
