Mixed pages - serious bug of tor

Yes, I have to make tests, if bug depends on multiple exits or just on
number of circuits... But I think it should make somebody who knows Tor
better than me, because I cannot find many consequences from high level
point of view.

Are tor developers reading this conference?

I dont think it is problem of corrupted exit node. Btw, I tested many
circuits because Im writing tor exit node scanner as school project ;). But
of course, it was not intention to make TOO MUCH circuits.

I think unencrypted communication is the most frequent, so there is big
probability that I can see unencrypted communication than something fuzzy.
But it is only subjective tip.

Because many of your requests go thru only one or two circuit at the moment.
I was made only one request (open page in browser), but there were hundreds
of circuits. It is the difference between "normal browsing" and "buggy
behaviour".
