Comment (by fuzzyTew):

 I'm having a comparable issue using MapAddress .exit hosts in torrc .  I
 can't curl them with torsocks, because torsocks gives the 'Resolve
 destination buffer too small' error when a domain resolves to an ipv6
 address, and tor defaults to creating ipv6 automap addresses.

 torsocks should either be upgraded to support ipv6 domain resolution, or
 tor should default to NoPreferIPv6Automap for SocksPort entries, so that
 it will interoperate with torsocks when installed.
