-------------------------+--------------------------
 The new release of Tor Bowser Bundle (4.5.1) seems to be creating multiple
 circuits 4+ and when loading a website uses multiple exitnodes for the
 same webpage. Previous behaviour it would use a single circuit/exitnode
 for a webpage. (Using Vidalia to view circuits)

 Experimenting by editing the torrc to restrict to just one exit node
 exhibited the same behaviour where multiple circuits are created and
 multiple paths with same entry node (as expected) and exit node (as
 forced) but different middle relay to load a website/webpage.
