Comment(by andrea):

 I'm not sure how portable this loopback trick is; I think if we're going
 to do this we should have Tor test whether it's possible to:

 1.) bind() two different addresses of the form 127.0.0.x for random x
 2.) listen() on one and then connect() to it with the other

 ... and warn the user if it looks like the behavior this depends on
 doesn't work.

 I can go ahead and implement this test if we merge this, though.
