It should be working assuming your "function StartTorch() { .. }" exists in
the background page. Try doing a simple reduction test extension, and submit
a bug report in http://crbug.com/new a reduction could be:
background.html:
<html>
<script>
function foo() {
console.log('bar');
}
</script>
</html>
popup.html:
<html>
<script>
var bkg = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
bkg.foo();
</script>
</html>
If the above simple extension doesn't work, there is a bug, so submitting a
bug report would be great (search if it doesn't exist first)
