youtube-dl (recent), torsocks 2.1.0 and TBB5+ failure

ERROR torsocks[29369]: [socks5] Resolve destination buffer too small (in socks5_recv_resolve_reply() at socks5.c:690) ERROR: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [Errno -4] Non-recoverable failure in name resolution> (caused by URLError(gaierror(-4, 'Non-recoverable failure in name resolution'),))

The error changes over time. But it is mostly in this range. With a fresh restart the problem goes away, but it is back after some time blocking all requests.

Stopping any TBB5 running and starting TBB4.5.3 makes everything go smooth again.

Besides TBB, nothing changes in the configuration.
