(I've been at defcon and black hat the past week, so have only been
peripherally watching the or-talk list.)

My impression from reading the posts is that tortila's craziness is
another instance of bug 779:
https://bugs.torproject.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=779

We're working on fixing it. This looks like a real bug, and a really
bad one at that. Marking all the exit nodes as badexit (which it looks
like we'd have to do by this metric) is going to make it harder to track
it down.

One of the next steps is to try to learn how to induce the bug. We're
working on that from several different angles.

Any help ya'll can provide would be useful. :)
