Comment(by sdjfjsdfiuhszduh):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > Equal exit nodes are not a sure sign of same circuits.  The goal of
 circuit isolation is not to ensure that streams don't go over the same
 exit, but rather to keep any exit from reliably inferring that those
 streams are coming from the same client by sending them on the same
 circuit.  (And also, to keep any server from deducing that those two
 streams are likelier to come from the same client by making them more
 likely to come from the same exit than they would otherwise.)

 Do you have any options set in your configuration that might affect how
 exits are getting selected?

 I don't think i do. Its the TBB with the unstable version of tor (I
 upgraded to 0.2.3.20-rc which seems to have the same effect) but I changed
 one line to use SocksPort and added many more SocksPort. Here is a copy
