Ah. My confusion comes from your initial report, which said 
"these reconnects don't succeed", which directly contradicts what you
said here.

I've had a look at the source. There was one possible (but very unlikely -
it requires certain buffers to be exactly the right size at exactly the
wrong time, as well as some other things happening simultaneously) bug,
which I've now fixed. I also added extra debug-level log statements
on source disconnect, which should tell you with a little more detail
what the reason for the source disconnect was. 

If it now works reliably/correctly, then the obscure bug was indeed
being triggered. If not, this is almost certainly a (source) client
bug.
