I am using a rather extensive set of routers, and it does happen that
the connections are terminated by the routers at times. However, I would
then expect Gnus to be ``disconnected'' and then proceed to re-establish
the connection. This is what happens when I issue the `C' and `O'
commands in the server buffer, which work fine, but apparently this is
not happening with Gnus. I'll see if I can catch it happening some time
and do an fstat like you say on the Emacs process.
