 In the recent alpha testing bundles, Runa and I have both confirmed that
 on Linux and OSX, going to check.torproject.org results in Firefox
 claiming that the proxy server is refusing connections. We were both able
 to browse around to other websites. I know there's some magic
 communication between torbutton and check.tpo so I'm assuming the problem
 is there.

 I've assigned this a priority of blocker because I cannot release the new
 bundles until it is fixed, but I hope my decision to do so does not cause
 you to have a heart attack, Mike.
