 Orbot iptables settings fail to apply for Orbot on Android 2.3.3, cm7
 port. The problem seems to be related to bionic library, not Orbot itself.
 Still, maybe Orbot should not show a green onion in case the iptables
 command fails.

 Here is an example of how iptables fails on 2.3.3.
 {{{
 # whoami
 root
 # iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
 getsockopt for multiport failed strangely: No such file or directory
 getsockopt for multiport failed strangely: No such file or directory
 FIX ME! implement getprotobyname() bionic/libc/bionic/stubs.c:378
 }}}

 A Google search for the error message shows that lots of other projects
 also encouter the same problem.

 Thanks to cubi for testing & reporting this issue.
