Numbers are different per architecture. For i686 I guess the right
place to look is here[0].

Futexes are not directly used by surf but indirectly by libc. I don't
think there is much we can do here, this seems like an issue on the torsocks
side. By denying the system call, perhaps something is left uninitialized
and then crashes.
