Comment:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/commitdiff/f6d18455d076aff69043e50fabe8992baad06180 fixed
 the problem in the LinkedIn Ruleset (which looks like a JavaScript
 redirection loop to me); however, it doesn't fix it in Chrome.

 That turns out to be because of a much more serious problem, which is that
 the Chrome port implementation of <exclusion pattern="regexp"> elements in
 the rulesets!
