Comment (by dcf):

 Just a note as I'm searching trac, you get the same symptom (bootstrapping
 stops at 20%) if you are a client with UseBridges set and connect to a
 bridge that has neither BridgeRelay nor DirPort set. info logging is:
 {{{

 I guess that #12538 will make it work to use any old relay as a bridge.
