 {{{
 $ tor-resolve localhost.seul.org
 Jan 14 18:52:47.884 [warn] Got SOCKS5 status response '4': host is
 unreachable
 }}}

 In my logs I have
 {{{
 Jan 14 18:52:47.884 [info] connection_edge_process_relay_cell_not_open():
 Got a resolve with answer 127.0.0.1.  Rejecting.
 }}}

 Trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 over Tor is a poor move. But knowing that a
 given address resolves to it? I can imagine situations where you'd want
 that info, rather than being told that the address doesn't resolve.
