 Tor's Q&A page has a [https://tor.stackexchange.com/q/6697/88 question]
 where someone uses bridges and `ExitNodes` and can't get a connection. So
 I tried to reproduce it:

 1. Retrieve some bridges (with obfs3 in this case) and enter them into
 `torrc`.
 2. Set `ExitNodes {US}`
 3. restart Tor and everything is fine.
 4. Add `UseBridges 1` and restart Tor.

 Now Tor can't get a connection anymore. I see the following log message
 every second:

 {{{
 Apr 21 19:05:42.000 [info] should_delay_dir_fetches(): Delaying dir
 fetches (no running bridges known)
 Apr 21 19:05:42.000 [info] compute_weighted_bandwidths(): Empty routerlist
 passed in to consensus weight node selection for rule weight as guard
 }}}

 When I remove `UseBridges` and restart Tor everything is fine.
