To use default torsocks 1.3 you'll need to set socksport
noisolatesocksauth or prefersocksnoauth
or perhaps configure a user:pass in torsocks beyond the
unset default, as hinted above.
Not sure if the latter socksport option will prevent isolation or
block torsocks again when later setting a user:pass in torsocks.
I think there may be a case for adding an environment/conf
TORSOCKS_RNDAUTH=[0/1]
to torsocks such that it will generate a random user:pass
per invocation (ie: parallel) thereby isolating each one. While
other unset invocations would ride as default over whichever
circuits.
