 In #5070, arma reported that if he puts:
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin obfs2 exec /bin/false --managed
 }}}
 in his torrc.

 In his logs he gets:
 {{{
 Feb 10 03:29:57.000 [notice] Managed proxy stream closed. Most probably
 application stopped running
 Feb 10 03:29:57.000 [notice] Failed to terminate process with PID '13672'
 Feb 10 03:29:57.000 [warn] You have a Bridge line using the obfs2
 pluggable transport, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding
 ClientTransportPlugin line.
 Feb 10 03:29:58.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory
 server.
 Feb 10 03:29:58.000 [warn] Tried to connect through proxy, but proxy
 address could not be found.
 }}}

 The last line ''Tried to connect through proxy, but proxy address could
 not be found'' is not very clear or helpful.
