Lars asked about this on the emacs-devel mailing list with no good
solution.  We just don't know if the remote is down.  I think it
requires some reworking of the Emacs process code to make detection of
hung or stale connections easier, and to build keepalives into the base
level.  But I don't think Lars ever set a course of action.

Until we have some resolution, use the following sequence (it can
probably be written in Lisp but I haven't bothered):

`^' = Server buffer
`M-c' = close all server
`q' = leave the Server buffer

Now `g' will open new connections for all servers.

Ted
