I seem to remember some discussion of someone in Europe running multiple
tor instances on a single machine using virtual servers of some sort and
of that's destroying the intended anonymity of the tor's themselves. In
fact the implication was that the multiple tor instances were
purposefully run as a honeypot by some institution which did not like
the idea of an anonymous internet.
Someone who knows more about tor than I can perhaps comment.
