[icecast] icecast2 disconnects..

[steve j. kondik]

ugh.  this is a showstopper.. is there any fix yet?  i'm having the same
issue.  if i HUP ices, it doesn't cause my client to reconnect (the song
changes and the metadata updates) but when it normally switches tracks,
the stream ends.  i also see "invalid password" messages in my error
log..
