So one fix would be for us to add and use a NullOutputStream class. The
other would be to flush the temp stream to the new stream on reconnect.

In one case, we loose data, in the other we potentially use a more RAM in
an unbounded way, if the server never is there for example.

There could be a third option where we use a bounded output stream.

What to do?
