#2511: Tor will use an unconfigured bridge if it was a configured bridge last time
you ran Tor
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
If you configure your Tor client with
{{{
usebridges 1
bridge 128.31.0.34:9009
}}}
and you run it and it works, then Tor will end up writing two things to
disk: 1) a @purpose bridge descriptor for 128.31.0.34 in your cached-
descriptors file:
{{{
@downloaded-at 2011-02-08 07:54:52
@source "128.31.0.39"
@purpose bridge
router bridge 128.31.0.34 9009 0 0
...
}}}
and 2) an entry guard stanza in your state file:
{{{
EntryGuard bridge 4C17FB532E20B2A8AC199441ECD2B0177B39E4B1
EntryGuardAddedBy 4C17FB532E20B2A8AC199441ECD2B0177B39E4B1 0.2.3.0-alpha-
dev 2011-02-01 18:43:23
}}}
Then if you kill your Tor and run it with
{{{
usebridges 1
bridge 150.150.150.150:9009
}}}
it will successfully bootstrap -- using the bridge that worked before but
isn't your requested bridge.
