[JDEV] Server/transport restart question

Hi all,

    I had been assured by somebody on the team a while ago that, if the
jserver dies and restarts within a reasonable period of time, that any
transports that are running will re-connect to jserver and everything
will be hunky dory.  My practical experience tells me that is not quite
the case.  I'm running a slightly-post-1.0 CVS snapshot (from May 19) of
jserver, icq-transport, and groupchat-transport that's been working quite
well, _but_:

        * jserver crashed (for the first time in over a month!)

        * jserver was restarted within a minute

        * the icq transport logged that it had lost its connection to jserver

        * the groupchat and icq transports appear to have reconnected
          to jserver

        * the icq transport didn't function _correctly_ until I restarted
          it

    I don't have any more specifics right now, but can anybody
authoritatively say that it is or is not surprising that I had to
restart the transports?

    Peace,
