 Im using xapian-replicate to replicate an index in two different
 availability zones in EC2. In one of the zones, the replication stops
 semi-regularily (a couple of times every day) and I have to manually
 restart it.

 The result of strace and a gdb backtrace is shown here:

 As rboulton pointed out on irc, this does not necessarily work well in
 dodgy networks.

 Maybe a timeout could be implemented (configurable by some command-line
 switch) that would cause a reconnection if the timeout was hit?
