Comment (by teor):

 Yeah, that's a timing bug in chutney, because we run Tor networks really
 fast. At some point, I'll work out why it's happening, and try to fix it.

 If you want "mixed\*" to work, you need tor-stable in your path.
 Try something like:
 {{{
 ln -s /usr/bin/tor /usr/local/bin/tor-stable
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 alias tor-stable=/usr/bin/tor
 }}}

 But the mixed networks are mainly useful for protocol and consensus
 changes.
