Comment:

 I have this working in a branch `restart_nocrash`.  Most of the work here
 was in #24337; this is just some additionl cleanup.

 Note that this is NOT a complete fix for the parent bug: it's just a fix
 for the crashing part.  I was, however, enable to use a socks port after
 restarting in-process, so that's something.
