 After upgrading to 0.2.4.17-rc-1~d70.wheezy+1, torsocks (1.2-3 from
 wheezy) stopped working. It says "Need a password in torsocks.conf or
 $TORSOCKS_PASSWORD to authenticate with" and tor logs this:

 {{{
 Sep 07 19:26:18.000 [warn] Socks5 username/password version 71 not
 recognized; rejecting.
 Sep 07 19:26:18.000 [warn] Fetching socks handshake failed. Closing.
 }}}

 Worse, while failing, it appears to send 10 bytes of data to the client
 (or maybe this is a curl bug?).

 (it does the same thing with a real or fake IP)
