 Depending on the arguments to torsocks the output varies even though it
 shouldn't

 case-1: torsocks irssi
 `/connect oftc` gives following error
 Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.oftc.net port 6697 [Interrupted system
 call]

 case 2: torsocks -d irssi
 `/connect oftc` works as expected

 I don't think there should be difference in output just because logging is
 enabled. This just might be the "torsocks uncertainty principle". I think
 we are onto something. Below I've attached the log dumped on the terminal.
