Comment (by yawning):

 Offhand I think the correct fix is to ensure that apps can't get the
 actual hostname/domainname (`localhost.localdomain` is a fine response),
 as applications running under torsocks have precisely 0 business in
 knowing this information.  There's a bunch of things that would need to be
 stubbed for this to happen:
  * `gethostname(3P)`
  * `getdomainname(2)`
  * `uname(2)`
  * `SYS_gethostname`
