Running one of the regression test in qa/rpc_tests: ./listtransactions.py --nocleanup

... and then looking at one of the test nodes regtest/debug.log after, I see a whole lot of:

2014-10-23 17:03:24 Cannot connect to thfsmmn2jbitcoin.onion:18333: unsupported network 2014-10-23 17:03:26 Cannot connect to it2pj4f7657g3rhi.onion:18333: unsupported network

I've also noticed that. Adding dnsseed=0 to the config written in util.py's initialize_datadir fixes it. Although it may be better to disable the DNS seed for regtest by itself.

I can provide a patch for either solution, if it is desired.

The root issue here is that CRegTestParams inherits all parameters from CTestNetParams, but forgets to clear vFixedSeeds, so it can try to connect to the testnet seeds. These are the 'fixed seeds', not the DNS seeds, those are properly cleared.
