------------------------+--------------------------------
 meek does not work any longer in Tor Browser 6.0a3. It seems this is
 caused by an underlying bug in tor. After some amount of testing and
 bisecting commit 23b088907fd23da417f5caf2b7b5f664f317ef4a is the first
 that introduces the new behavior. Trying to start meek with it results in
 {{{
 Mar 10 13:50:53.000 [notice] Ignoring directory request, since no bridge
 nodes are available yet.
 Mar 10 13:50:54.000 [notice] Delaying directory fetches: No running
 bridges
 }}}
 and nothing thereafter: the startup is stalled.
