Comment (by sqrt2):

 torbutton -b bug_9901_v4 seems to be working, however, when I first tried
 it, I've come across the following behaviour that I cannot reproduce right
 now:

 While going to <âhttp://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.3.0/i386/iso-dvd/>
 and clicking the MD5SUMS file works, pasting the URL
 <âhttp://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.3.0/i386/iso-dvd/MD5SUMS> to the
 address bar now opens Startpage with the URL as a search term; not so if I
 leave out the "http://";, however.

 I suppose if there is no concern that there could be a race condition or
 something similar (I //am// currently running at close to 100% CPU on all
 cores for unrelated reasons), we can credit this to solar flares or
 whatever seems marginally plausible within the employed philosophical
 framework.
