The intent is that it is the SocketHubReceiver that is doing the
reconnection.  However, one of my recent code changes was to the SocketNode
class, which is used by a few classes, although the change really means that
the registered listeners to the SocketNode get notified when the socket
dies.  It is then up to the listener to interpret what to do with that
information.  In the case of the SocketHubReceiver it now properly fires up
a Connector thread to go looking for the downed (and hopefully
soon-to-be-back-up) remote host.  

Prior to this change, SHReceiver, or any of the other listeners, did not got
told the socket was dead, and hence, never tried to reconnect.

I have visually inspected the SocketHubAPPENEDER class, and I cannot see
where it might be affected, as it does not use SocketNode at all.

hope that helps.

cheers,

Paul Smith
