I've updated the periodic ping to check to make sure the ping successfully
sends, and notice that you are disconnected if it doesn't. I've also removed
the SIGPIPE handler since it seems that all SIGPIPEs are picked up by it,
not just Yahoo related ones. So it is wrong to assume Yahoo is disconnected
if you get a SIGPIPE; it could have been a different service.
