Hooman with his Skypemorph transport
(http://archives.seul.org/tor/dev/Mar-2012/msg00093.html) notes that when
Tor first starts, and starts his transport, it takes his transport a
minute or two to become ready. During that time, Tor tries to start a
circuit to his configured bridges, times out the circuit, and marks his
bridges down.
He can work around the problem in his experiments by starting Tor with
"DisableNetwork 1" in the torrc, and when he's ready, remove the line and
hup tor. That's not a good solution for real users though.
The problem would be less pronounced for him if Tor had better handling of
when to mark a bridge down. There are a variety of tickets about that. But
I think those issues are different from this ticket.
Perhaps the various proposals we've been writing recently have some
opportunity to fit this in? Which ones are the best ones to look at?
