Failed to find node for hop 0 of our path. Discarding this circuit.

When I introduce EntryNodes restrictions in my torrc file (also having StrictNodes 1) and then start tor, I get the following rather bizarre sequence going:

[notice] {DIR} We now have enough directory information to build circuits. [notice] {CONTROL} Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor network. [warn] {CIRC} Failed to find node for hop 0 of our path. Discarding this circuit. [...ad nauseum...]

If, at this point, I shut down tor and then start it again, without changing anything at all, the bootstrap completes (100% done) and I have no further problems.

My EntryNodes statement isn't very restrictive (something like {DE},{SE},{AT},{EU}), but even if it is, I don't think it should prevent tor from bootstrapping properly.
