 I have seen this error before while testing PTs. I think it is a tor bug.
 I don't know the exact cause, but after a few bridge failures, tor will
 cache the fact that it thinks all bridges are down, and refuse even to try
 connecting to them. See:
  * comment:3:ticket:26891
  * #11301

 My usual workaround is to delete the <datadir>/state file and restart tor.
 You can also try adding a line like this to your torrc:
 {{{
 DataDirectory tmp-datadir
 }}}
 If that works, then the problem is likely the one I described.
