Comment(by gsathya):

 Replying to [comment:3 atagar]:
 > This might be a test that we should skip on your platform
 (get/set_process_name() may not work everywhere). However, I'm a little
 surprised that this hasn't come up before since test_set_process_name is
 pretty old.

 Indeed.

 > Is this OSX?
 Yes

 > What does 'ps -p <pid> -o args' give you?

 {{{
 stem git:(master) : ps -p 60437 -o args
 ARGS
 tor --socksport 9050
 }}}

 > Do you know something else that'll work on your platform for getting the
 process name?
 Not sure.
