Comment:

 The plan was to use nc(1) but -w not working when using a socks proxy
 and Python 2.x popen() not knowing about timeouts made me implement a
 select loop. It should be good enough for this (in fact, too good for
 sending data over loopback IMO) and reasonably easily extendable to
 support multiple listeners should we want to test several circuits in
 parallell some day.

 Please see branch bug8531 in my Chutney repo.
