Comment(by nickm):

 Sounds plausible.  I think both fixes are right.  So to summarize, let's:

   * Rate-limit the "Rejecting SOCKS  request for anonymous connection to
 private address"  message,
   * Special-case the names "localhost" and "foo.local" on the client side
 and on the server side in the same way that we currently special-case
 127/8.
