Comment (by brade):

 It isn't specific to PT.  If you enter a bad bridge (as the only bridge),
 Tor Launcher will wait indefinitely for tor to complete the bootstrap
 process.

 Here is a torrc to use for testing (adjust paths and make sure nothing is
 listening on TCP port 9532:
 {{{
 Bridge 127.0.0.1:9532
 DataDirectory /Users/foo/TBB.app/Data/Tor
 DirReqStatistics 0
 GeoIPFile /Users/foo/TBB.app/Data/Tor/geoip
 UseBridges 1
 }}}

 Here are the bootstrap status event messages that Tor Launcher received:
 {{{
 650 NOTICE Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory server.
 650 STATUS_CLIENT NOTICE BOOTSTRAP PROGRESS=5 TAG=conn_dir
 SUMMARY="Connecting to directory server"
 650 STATUS_CLIENT WARN BOOTSTRAP PROGRESS=5 TAG=conn_dir
 SUMMARY="Connecting to directory server" WARNING="Connection refused"
 REASON=CONNECTREFUSED COUNT=1 RECOMMENDATION=ignore
 }}}
