New description:

 When using @ExitNodes@ to restrict exits to one country, an error in
 syntax causes this option to fail silently when using Tor Browser.

 For example, this code works:
 {{{
 ExitNodes {GB}
 StrictNodes 1
 }}}

 While this code fails:
 {{{
 ExitNodes {uk}
 StrictNodes 1
 }}}

 Spotted on v7.0.1 (64-bit) on Mac OSX 10.11.5 (15F34)
