Comment (by mikeperry):

 I have a quick sketch of what we'd need to hack to perform a basic test of
 this here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/mikeperry/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug16633-sketch

 That might be a good starting point to see if this thing works at all with
 a SOCKS proxy set, since it seems very much like the original prediction
 code wasn't ever tested for that case.
