 Using Tor Browser Bundle 2.3.25-6 and 2.3.25-8 (Windows)

 Have placed the following settings in the torrc file:

 ExitNodes {SE}
 StrictNodes 1

 Older versions of Tor would simply not connect (and give me error messages
 in the Vidalia message log) when it could not find a suitable exit node.
 However 2.3.25-6 has given me non-SE exit nodes frequently. I used it as
 an excuse to upgrade to 2.3.25-8 but am experiencing the exact same thing.

 I had no problem with previous versions (sorry, already deleted older
 bundle so cannot verify the older version that used to work) where it
 would simply refuse to connect - at least I would know that a suitable
 exit node could not be found. But ignoring this setting seems dangerous.
 Any ideas?

 Using Tor Browser Bundle 2.3.25-8
 Vidalia 0.2.21
 Tor 0.2.3.25 (git-17c24b3118224d65)
 Qt 4.8.1
