Comment (by cm1@…):

 Unfortunately, it turns out torsocks is not a working replacement for
 tsocks for people like me who use tsocks with a simple SOCKS server. Apart
 from the fact that it doesn't allow to disable DNS forwarding (it fails
 with an error), it also contains hard-coded hacks which only work when
 used together with TOR, and even then are questionable. For example, I ran
 into a list of hard-coded IP network addresses which it refuses to open
 connections to because it's afraid something is trying to bypass the TOR
 network:

 10:53:12 libtorsocks(63158): connect: Connection is to a local address
 (10.165.132.36), may be a TCP DNS request to a local DNS server so have to
 reject to be safe. Please report a bug to
 http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/entry if this is preventing a
 program from working properly with torsocks.

 Looking at the code for torsocks, it appears the author is completely
 focused in TOR use, hard-coding bits and pieces all over the place without
 adding configuration options, etc. I guess it would be more work to fix
 torsocks than simply keeping tsocks alive...
