[tor-relays] stable flag

[Softail]

Seems to be doing OK today and my traffic is beginning to pick up, so I
may just be over anxious.

My hosting service seems to have some kind of throttle or firewall on
ICMP because I can't ping reliably even when I have a perfectly fine SSH
connection. If it starts losing the flag again I suppose I could cobble
together a script that periodically does a wget from the dirport or
something.

Thanks for the thought though.
