Comment(by nickm):

 So, it sounds like the bug here is in pidgin and the other app (what was
 it?), not necessarily in Tor now.  Or maybe Tor is screwing up here
 somehow, but not in a way wireshark can notice?

 What would happen if Tor just stops saying that NO_AUTH is okay?  That's
 not something we could do by default, but it could be a socksport-specific
 option.
