Update: If I add the following four lines to the bottom of Vidalia's "torrc"
file, then Tor honors the StrictExitNodes + ExitNodes options, but it
ignores the StrictEntryNodes + EntryNodes options:

  StrictEntryNodes 1
  EntryNodes BostonUCompSci,FSF,moria1,SelfEvident
  StrictExitNodes 1
  ExitNodes BostonUCompSci,FSF,moria1,SelfEvident

Although, Tor seems to only use the first of the specified ExitNodes.
Shouldn't it round-robin between them?
