-----------------------------------+--------------------------------
 At the moment, MapAddress .exit entries won't resolve through torsocks for
 me, because tor gives an IPv6 reply, and torsocks is only designed for
 IPv4 replies.

 Torsocks gives the characteristic error `[socks5] Resolve destination
 buffer too small (in socks5_recv_resolve_reply() at socks5.c:681)` when
 tor replies with an IPv6 address, which it does every single time for
 mapaddress .exit entries for me.
