Comment (by cypherpunks):

 ok so I captured the traffic using wireshark:

 tbb opens a tcp connection to proxy, proxy accepts
 tbb sends socks5 with client authentication methods, proxy chooses
 username/password
 tbb terminates connection with [fin]

 no authentication happened at all, which matches the log warning SOCKS
 args string not created.

 username/password are just alnums, there's even no special character in
 them... any ideas?
