Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:9 Sebastian]:
 > Does this test failing on freebsd jails actually indicate an issue for
 Tor's operation? If not it seems we could try and detect the situation and
 skip the test in that case?

 It's relatively harmless.  There's fallback code in place that'll do the
 right thing.  In the long run all of this code should go away, but that
 might be a while (#12377).
