If I try to use a program (for example, socat) to connect to a Tor onion
address, it fails with the following error:

[~]nyuszika7h@cadoth> proxychains socat -
TCP:p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion:6667
ProxyChains-3.1 (http://proxychains.sf.net)
|DNS-request| p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion
|S-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:9050-<><>-4.2.2.2:53-<><>-OK
|DNS-response|: p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion is not exist
2012/08/04 10:45:34 socat[6591.18446744073531561728] E
getaddrinfo("p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion", "(null)", {1,0,1,6}, {}): Unknown
error

Using the same address works with torsocks:

[1][~]nyuszika7h@cadoth> torsocks socat -
TCP:p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion:6667
:asimov.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
:asimov.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Checking Ident
:asimov.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** No Ident response
:asimov.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Couldn't look up your hostname
QUIT
ERROR :Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Client Quit)
[~]nyuszika7h@cadoth>

Note: The [1] in the prompt is the exit code of proxychains.

Hi,
[...]

Thank you for reporting the bug. I cannot forward it to the upstream
right now since development is stopped in 2006 but in future the bug
might be forwarded if there is new upstream.

There are two forks.

8 months ago:
https://github.com/haad/proxychains

1 month ago:

Is one of them qualified as new upstream?

This bug is actually fixed in a second mentioned fork,
https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng

I've checked it  on ubuntu saucy.
Package was proxychains-ng version 4.5 from deb package that was build
by launchpad autobuilder.
