Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:25 mcs]:
 > Does the deadlock still occur if we use buffered sockets?  The
 combination of blocking + unbuffered is unusual.  I don't remember why
 buffering causes problems, but Mike probably does.

 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8642#comment:1 ? It seems
 we get buffering for free if we have blocking sockets :) So, the comments
 in torbuttons.js are wrong. Well, they are not wrong but they just don't
 match reality.
