Changes (by teor):

 * keywords:  chutney => tor-authority tor-test-network


Comment:

 I removed the AlternateBridgeAuthority line, and the entire network
 functioned perfectly as a test network.

 That is, if an AlternateBridgeAuthority line is present in a torrc, it
 cancels the effect of TestingTorNetwork for every torrc in which it is
 present (and not just for the bridge authority itself).

 This is clearly an issue with tor, that could occur even if chutney wasn't
 being used.
