Hi,

being a proud new owner of an Android4 device (with connectbot, of 
course!), I had to upgrade to
sslh-1.13b today (handling the "bold" SSL connect).
The following symtom (that seems to has happened to at least one other 
connectbot user):

Works fine in WLAN and some nets, but not with some 3G-Networks, 
connection fails with

    May 28 18:46:21 stubai sslh[16520]: sprintaddr:getnameinfo: 
Temporary failure in name resolution

I suspected the two lines:

    log_message(LOG_ERR,....)

in sprintaddr() (common.c). I changed them to

    log_message(LOG_INFO,....)

and I could successfully connect.
I think that the DNS-reverse lookup fails with some 3G-Providers and 
LOG_ERR aborts, which is not intended - now it works fine:

    May 28 18:46:33 stubai sslh[16520]: sprintaddr:getnameinfo: 
Temporary failure in name resolution
    May 28 18:46:33 stubai sslh[16520]: connection from 
123.456.123.456:11589 to stubai.some.domain:https forwarded from 
localhost.localdomain:39606 to localhost.localdomain:https

Regards, wun
