Greetings! 3 days ago I upgraded my tor relay (running on gutsy 7.10) to tor-0.2.0.28-rc (compiled from source) with vidalia 0.1.5 (compiled from source).
I have noticed during the last 24 hours that, from time to time, the Tor Network Map in vidalia is not listing a complete circuit. What I mean by this is, whilst all 3 nodes in the current tor circuit are clearly listed in the 'Connection Status' pane of the 'Tor Network Map' GUI, the more detailed list of the nodes, that resides to the right hand side of the 'Connection Status' pane, lists only the entry & middle nodes. I have managed to observe this about 6 or 7 times in the last 24 hours (this error only occurs sporadically). When I've noticed this behavior & verified the IP address of the exit node in the current circuit, it does indeed correspond with the tor exit node in the current tor circuit (listed in the 'Connection Status' pane). It's just that the same exit node isn't included in the more detailed list/overview of nodes in the current tor circuit that is displayed to the right-hand side of the 'Connection Status' pane. I have only noticed this since upgrading to tor-0.2.0.28-rc & did not notice this happening when I was using vidalia 0.1.5 (compiled from source] on the previous 0.2.0.26-rc version of Tor. Is it possible that some error might have occurred when I was compiling from source or could this possibly be some other kind of error/bug? Everything else in tor-0.2.0.28-rc & vidalia 0.1.5 seems to be working perfectly ok. Any ideas anyone? Regards, John Smith - Tor relay freeflow
