Comment(by aagbsn):

 So, with this patch applied, why does torsocks complain when
 AutomapHostsOnResolve is set, for any host?
 {{{
 $ torsocks nc google.com 80
 05:53:37 libtorsocks(13692): connect: Connection is to a local address
 (127.192.0.1), may be a TCP DNS request to a local DNS server so have to
 reject to be safe. Please report a bug to
 http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/entry if this is preventing a
 program from working properly with torsocks.
 }}}

 If AutomapHostsOnResolve is not set, attempts to connect to the MapAddress
 mapped host fail as before:
 {{{
 torsocks openssl s_client -connect irc.oftc.net:6697
 gethostbyname failure
 connect:errno=2
 }}}
 {{{
 Nov 24 05:58:49.000 [warn] Resolve requests to hidden services not
 allowed. Failing.
 }}}

 Connections to other hosts (without a MapAddress line) succeed:
 {{{
 $ torsocks nc google.com 80
 get /
 HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
 }}}
