Comment:

 I suggest you mail the help@rt address if you have further support
 questions:
 https://www.torproject.org/about/contact

 (I see this complaint from Tor every so often when I use AIM with Pidgin
 over Tor. I haven't figured out if Pidgin has broken proxy support ("maybe
 it's asking the proxy to connect to the address of the proxy rather than
 the real destination"), or if one of AOL's servers really is returning the
 address 127.0.0.1 in response to some DNS request, or what.

 Probably the former. It would not be the first, or the last, pidgin bug.
