I'll make note of these URLs to test if I see it again. Shortly after  
seeing the error and realizing it wasn't a problem with the site  
itself, I tried going to http://ipid.shat.net/. Reloading that page  
gave me 3 different IPs, while reloading the problem site continued  
to give me the same TorEnd. As you said, the circuit changes, so I  
can't be sure anyway.

Interestingly, http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl? 
tor=1 currently reports that I'm coming from 67.106.81.120, which it  
claims isn't a Tor exit node. It is.
