It's unrelated to this specific bug, but if you want to do stuff with
the Tor control protocol, I highly recommend you look at Stem, available
in the python-stem package, and its `tor-prompt` utility:
https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/down_the_rabbit_hole.html

Running:

$ tor-prompt
SIGNAL NEWNYM

Will do the same as the “New identity” feature of Vidalia.

Another more flexible option is to pass different SOCKS
username/password to get different circuits. This is how the “New
circuit for this site” and per domain circuit isolation is done in Tor
Browser.
(This is the `IsolateSOCKSAuth` option, enabled by default.)

Hope that helps,
