If you are using a Privoxy version more recent than 3.0.9

to provide Privoxy with a more detailed problem description.
My mistake, I assume that means that v3.0.16 does indeed do this DNS reporting. 



With a more recent version I get:

And Tor says:

After reading what you say about this retrying, I assume that the long waits I got while it re-tried other circuits does mean that it was DNS resolution failure and not refusal to serve/connect to a page that we are dealing with here.
