Damian: here's another case where we'll want to make the logic smarter.
If longclaw isn't saying it's voting on the Running flag (that is, it doesn't say Running in the "known-flags" line), then it's fine for it to be missing the Running flag in all its networkstatus stanzas.
This situation happens soon after a restart, where the dir auth doesn't think it has a good handle on which relays are reachable and which aren't, so it opts to express no opinion for that round.

Hi Roger. The situation nusenu requested the check for sounds similar...

Are you saying that in that case dannenberg had Exit in its known-flags? I'm getting kinda tempted to simply drop this check since it seems to be for a weird edge case and I'd rather not continue fiddling with it.

Yes, correct.
Tor knows how to avoid voting on Running when it's just started up, but I think there isn't ever a reason to avoid voting on Exit.

Ok, in that case I'll just have DocTor omit the Running flag from its checks too.

Ok. If you wanted to get fancier, you could look at the known-flags line in the vote, to decide whether to check it.
But I get the impression you don't want to get fancier here. :)
