 Great!

 Asynchronous exceptions some regions of the code try hard not to capture
 (i.e. `ignoreJust syncExceptions`) while doing a catch-all? Only
 `killThread`? ... since with new(-ish) exceptions trying to determine how
 an exception was thrown is no longer possible.

 I've mentally paged out almost everything about tordnsel and Haskell/ghc
 details, so it will take a while for me to get back up to speed. If you
 can't figure out something, just leave it alone and make a note of it in a
 comment or in a separate file if the note is more general. Eventually I'll
 get to it and remember what I was doing.
