Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This is Tor bug, for changed options it assume transport starts and
 reports back instantly, else it re-reads reports only once a second every
 (pt_configure_remaining_proxies called by run_scheduled_events). **Any**
 (RE)SETCONF trigger call of pt_prepare_proxy_list_for_config_read, that
 in-tolerate for yet starting transports. It must to allow non-
 PT_PROTO_COMPLETED managed proxy if changed options unrelated to those
 managed proxy. For example you should be allowed to add bridges for
 another transports without terminating non completed transport just
 started before, or even some changes to bridge unrelated options.
