If whatever client you have configured to use Tor as a proxy doesn't
do it quite right (it makes DNS resolution requests on its own, rather
than asking the proxy (i.e., tor daemon) to do so on its behalf), it
is said to leak DNS requests.  If the user is under passive
surveillance by an attacker upstream, those leaked requests can give
them away.
