 As the title says, I have Tor 0.2.1.30 installed on my system along with a
 correctly configured polipo. I've noticed that when I manually restrict
 tor to use a certain set of exit nodes (using StrictExitNodes 1 and
 endnodes <...>) and restart it, after a few minute it reaches 100% cpu
 usage. Although tor seems to be still running fine (i can still open
 websites etc...), I prefer to avoid such a massive load. I then comment
 those two line out, restart tor, and everything is back to normal.

 Is this a bug or just some predictable behaviour?

 Thank you.
