 TBB for OS X on 10.5.8 logs everything into system.log in detail. I'm
 using TorBrowser-2.2.32-4-dev-osx-i386-en-US.

 This continues for every framework, dylib, and library loaded and then
 switches to vidalia:

 Sep 25 08:35:36 osxmachine [0x0-0x53e53e].net.vidalia-
 project.vidalia[23758]: dyld: loaded: /Users/user/Downloads/TorBrowser_en-

 US.app/Contents/MacOS/Vidalia.ap
 p/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui
 which then logs every framework, dylib, and library loaded by vidalia

 and then does it for firefox.

 We probably shouldn't be allowing anything to be logged to the system,
 nevermind in such detail.
