Comment:

 Ah.  choose_random_dirguard() calls choose_random_entry_impl with its
 for_directory argument set to true.  That tells it to only use nodes that
 have is_dir_cache set to 1.  But the bridges' node_ts apparently don't
 have is_dir_cache set to 1.

 I have an easy fix in "bug8367" in my public repository. It doesn't need a
 changes file, since this isn't in any released version.  Please review; we
 shouldn't put out 0.2.4.11-alpha until this is fixed.

 (Can anybody else reproduce the bug?)
