hmm, ok I'll look into this.. Do you have any relays defined ?

The reconnectattempts value is from the CVS code, and can be a bit awkward
in general.

ices can have multiple instances and in these mods can have multiple shout
connections per instance.  I don't think terminating ices for just one shout
connection is acceptable, I'm more inclined to drop the reconnectattempts
completely and treating it as indefinite. Use a value of -1 now for the same
effect.
