Comment(by rransom):

 For the 'changes' file: This bug was introduced when the SOCKS client code
 was added, in commit 75472c19c3fdcda913eb8117c917ddfd445b2b77 (first
 released in version 0.2.2.1-alpha).

 The patch should be based on maint-0.2.2, but a second patch will be
 needed on master (on top of the fix to #2327) to fix the bufferevents
 SOCKS client code.

 The most annoying part of fixing this will be calculating the maximum
 SOCKS reply length. See [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt IETF
 RFC 1928] for the SOCKS 5 spec; I don't know where to find the SOCKS 4
 spec.
