 ERROR torsocks[29369]: [socks5] Resolve destination buffer too small (in
 socks5_recv_resolve_reply() at socks5.c:690)
 ERROR: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [Errno -4] Non-
 recoverable failure in name resolution> (caused by URLError(gaierror(-4,
 'Non-recoverable failure in name resolution'),))

 The error changes over time. But it is mostly in this range. With a fresh
 restart the problem goes away, but it is back after some time blocking all
 requests.

 Stopping any TBB5 running and starting TBB4.5.3 makes everything go smooth
 again.

 Besides TBB, nothing changes in the configuration.
