 I can tell:

 #5851.

 ``argslist`` feature to pass shared secrets is likely messing up both tor
 and Vidalia. This needs more testing.

 connection attempts):

 The second form is correct. The first is wrong since the `keyid` key is
 unsupported.

 BTW, check out Tor's `test_config_parse_bridge_line()` unit test. It seems
 to me that the second form should work as far as little-t-tor is
 concerned.
