Dropping myself from the bug, I haven't done any tp-idle dev in a long time.

As for the state of the bug, I don't think it's fixed. The real fix would
probably be making idle use glib's GSocketClient to leverage the recently added
transparent proxy capabilities:
http://ndufresne.ca/2010/06/transparent-proxy-for-glib-applications/.

That would probably also fix quite a few other issues as when I originally
wrote the idle network code almost five years ago I didn't really know a socket
from a pipe, or from my arse for that matter. Especially the
IdleSSLServerConnection (or whatever it was) code is probably a can of worms, I
wrote it in like 1 day with no prior experience of the OpenSSL API at all...
