socat 1.4.0.0 has buggy SOCKS4A code. The maintainer patch on the web site has (probably had, now) a platform-specific bug, which was resolved in conjunction with the socat author earlier. The problem will be corrected in socat 1.4.0.1, but in the meantime is provided separately. This patch adds the fix as a replacement xio-socks.c. I have also set myself as the maintainer as part of the patch below. I am willing to take on maintainership of this port.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks.
