Sorry I've been slow to reply.

I didn't update my configuration file, but that's because I didn't do
any kind of command limit, for example, the block and pass sections of
my config file:
-----
client pass {
        from: 172.16.0.0/16     to: 0.0.0.0/0
        log: connect error
}

client block {
        from: 0.0.0.0/0         to: 0.0.0.0/0
        log: connect error
}

block {
        from: 0.0.0.0/0         to: 127.0.0.1/8
        log: connect error
}

pass {
        from: 0.0.0.0/0         to: 0.0.0.0/0
        log: connect error
}
-----

No one on the inside network knows how to do anything evil with SOCKS5,
so I didn't limit which SOCKS5 commands are allowed.

The log file didn't look any different between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0-pre2, but
I suppose I could increase the log: statements to aid with debugging or
change whatever in my config file you suggest.

We should probably take this off the mailing list until a resolution is
reached.
