Yes. That means torsocks detected that the torified process received an
inet socket from an other process using the fd passing feature of Unix
socket thus stopped everything since it can't torify that socket.

I thought about a middle groud of simply denying the call and returning
an error but still printing an error.

Let me know if you would be open to try that. I can provide a trivial
patch quickly for testing.

Cheers!
