 93a8ed3b83b5f20768562ca2aff4eba7aca667d8, which is
 6370fb77c586e9ad68c7d1ecb95be36137cb9067, is working perfectly fine: I can
 change the PT during bootstrap and even after restart the new PT is being
 used without any complaint. Exactly like the current behavior in 0.3.1.8
 is.

 Oh, you're right, #23347 has a misleading title. Fixed!

 ...

 But I still don't have enough information to diagnose the bug in the logs
 you supplied for tor commit d7833c9d27feed9e. They tell me that we fixed
 one bug, but they don't tell me where the next error is.

 Perhaps we can work out how to reproduce this bug using a command-line
 like the one in #23347?

 Otherwise, I need someone to provide more detailed logs (info-level?) that
 tell me *why* Tor Launcher has set DisableNetwork.

 About 10 hours ago in #tor-dev IRC, catalyst was saying that Tor Launcher
 will set DisableNetwork in response to some bootstrap events. (I can't
 find a bug number for that bug.) Maybe we are seeing an instance of that
 bug here?
