Evaluator Description

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=487CDF51.5060201%40endian.com "Afterwards it retries in a loop. This retry loop is infinite, due to a not initialised variable. This happens also only if you use a parent proxy and if the parent proxy is a numerical ip address, which don't need to be resolved."
