This patch allows a worker to properly detect that the connection to a peer
becomes unavailable -- for whatever reason (the remote worker is dead or
restarting, there was a network glitch, etc). Also, any reconnection attempts
are now async so that reconnecting will not block other activities of the
worker (such as sending messages to other workers it is still connected to).
So to your question: this patch includes the case of the worker that
remained alive trying to (re)connect to a dead peer.
Does that help?
