There are three different ways to tell Tor to resolve a hostname:

1. Using the SOCKS RESOLVE protocol (e.g. via tor-resolve)
2. Setting DNSPort and using standard DNS requests
3. Sending a RESOLVE request via the control protocol.

All three methods lead to different stream events being sent via the control protocol.

Method 1 leads to these events:

650 STREAM 95 NEWRESOLVE 0 heise.de:0 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 95 NEW 15 heise.de:0 SOURCE_ADDR=(Tor_internal):58776 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 95 SENTRESOLVE 15 heise.de:0
650 STREAM 95 SUCCEEDED 15 heise.de:0
650 STREAM 95 REMAP 15 193.99.144.80:0 SOURCE=EXIT
650 STREAM 95 CLOSED 15 193.99.144.80:0 REASON=DONE

Method 2:

650 STREAM 99 NEW 0 heise.de:0 SOURCE_ADDR=127.0.0.1:39482 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 99 NEW 17 heise.de:0 SOURCE_ADDR=(Tor_internal):39482 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 99 SENTRESOLVE 17 heise.de:0
650 STREAM 99 REMAP 17 193.99.144.80:0 SOURCE=EXIT
650 STREAM 99 CLOSED 17 193.99.144.80:0 REASON=DONE

Method 3:

650 STREAM 103 NEW 18 heise.de:0 SOURCE_ADDR=(Tor_internal):0 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 103 SENTRESOLVE 18 heise.de:0
650 STREAM 103 REMAP 18 193.99.144.80:0 SOURCE=EXIT
650 STREAM 103 CLOSED 18 193.99.144.80:0 REASON=DONE

In my opinion, the following stream events should be generated:

650 STREAM 1 NEWRESOLVE 0 heise.de:0 SOURCE_ADDR=127.0.0.1:12345 PURPOSE=DNS_REQUEST
650 STREAM 1 SENTRESOLVE 1 heise.de:0
650 STREAM 1 REMAP 1 193.99.144.80:0 SOURCE=EXIT
650 STREAM 1 CLOSED 1 193.99.144.80:0 REASON=DONE

If the request was generated by method 3, the SOURCE_ADDR should be omitted. The reason why there is a SOURCE_ADDR and a duplicate STREAM_EVENT_NEW is that this was added for ticket #646 (moved).

I have attached a patch that will lead to the desired output, but I can change it if another output is preferred.
