 When tor can't make a connection, and sends back a SOCKS error, chutney
 keeps on rapidly sending SOCKS requests. Instead, chutney should fail.

 I think we introduced this bug when we started using asyncore.

 I have worked around the bug using a 5 second asyncore timeout, but we
 should come up with a permanent fix.

 I think nickm might be able to help with this issue, because he wrote that
 code.
