I've added the task, it's #178 here:
http://bugs.noreply.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=178

I have not configured FascistFirewall, but I have wondered if my
tor/privoxy problems are firewall-related.

I don't understand much about the OS X firewall, but my setup is DSL to
Wireless Router to OS X laptop, with the wireless router including its
own firewall.

I was under the impression that the router's firewall shouldn't impact
running the tor client or privoxy, but I do have the router's firewall
set to permit the relevant connections to my Debian tor server. Hope the
crash report helps sort this out.
