 93a8ed3b83b5f20768562ca2aff4eba7aca667d8, which is
 6370fb77c586e9ad68c7d1ecb95be36137cb9067, is working perfectly fine: I can
 change the PT during bootstrap and even after restart the new PT is being
 used without any complaint. Exactly like the current behavior in 0.3.1.8
 is.

 I have to think about that a bit harder. I am not sure how to do that
 right now.

 that tell me *why* Tor Launcher has set DisableNetwork.

 Alright. Let's look at the first issue described in steps 1)-4) in the bug
 description. It might give us some clue about what the actual bug(s)
 is/are which are remaining. I've attached two info level logs, one with
 6370fb77c586e9a (where everything is fine and `obfs4` is finally used),
 and one with d7833c9d27feed9 where still a connecting with `obfs3` is
 attempted. I hope that's already enough for you to explain the problem in
 that part at least.

 > About 10 hours ago in #tor-dev IRC, catalyst was saying that Tor
 Launcher will set DisableNetwork in response to some bootstrap events. (I
 can't find a bug number for that bug.) Maybe we are seeing an instance of
 that bug here?

 Hm. Not sure, although I am still not convinced that this plays a role
 here. Maybe mcs/brade have more ideas for that part, though.
