Comment (by dgoulet):

 Exactly. The address family of the requested socket of the application
 MUST match the one to the SocksPort or else we end up in a world of
 complexity to support "app->inet6-->torsocks-->inet-->tor".

 I would like to help by providing a patch here but not sure what's the
 best approach here so please let me know what would be the ideal approach.
 Thanks!
