Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >for any reason, there is no way for torsocks to provide the Tor anonymity
 guarantee to your application, torsocks will force the application to quit
 and stop everything.

 But torsocks does not do this. If there is no way to guarantee the traffic
 is torified, torsocks silently lets the traffic through (e.g. raw assembly
 being used to call syscalls).
