I was about to push the new version to Debian experimental, but it just
breaks my SSH configuration too badly.

The new version forbids listen() and accept().

That means that at least SSH options ControlMaster, LocalForward, and
DynamicForward will not work. Being able to multiplex connections
(ControlMaster) is pretty crucial to keep sanity when working over
hidden services. Forwarding options allow a simple way to create to
tunnel TCP connections to a remote system through SSH over Tor.

I am not sure what is the right move here. Perhaps allowing listen on
Unix sockets and localhost? Or maybe allowing listen() entirely?
