Comment:

 gk and I had a discussion about this on #tor-dev. Because of the not-very-
 satisfying tradeoffs that we are wrestling with, we agreed on the
 following plan:
 * Before we ship TB 6.5 stable, we will back out support for Unix domain
 sockets.
 * We will leave things as-is on the alpha channel while we look for a
 better solution. In other words, alpha users will have to live with this
 bug for a while longer.
