Comment (by mcs):

 Kathy and I reviewed the patches and they look okay to us. We also ran
 gk's test bundle on OSX and it seemed to work (we did notice that Unix
 domain sockets did not work for SOCKS, but that seems like a different
 problem... maybe a missing patch?)

 We could not figure out how to use lldb to examine the memory protection
 level of the running process (and find the JS-related pages). Maybe if
 someone can describe how to do that with gdb on Linux we can do something
 similar on OSX.
