[Tails-dev] Difficulties connecting to OFTC

Some users reported difficulties to connect to OFTC using Pidgin on
Tails 0.21. I managed to reproduce that bug. If I start pidgin from the
command line with the debug option, I get something like this:

(17:05:33) account: Connecting to account kylohh@???.
(17:05:33) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x89da990
(17:05:33) dns: DNS query for 'irc.oftc.net' queued
(17:05:33) dns: Wait for DNS child 5504 failed: No child processes
(17:05:33) dns: Created new DNS child 5527, there are now 1 children.

(17:05:35) proxy: Error connecting to irc.oftc.net:6667 (Connection
refused).
(17:05:35) proxy: Connection attempt failed: Connection refused

Does that happen to others?
