Comment(by coling):

 So you are suggesting that we essentially just accept that PA crashes
 "very often" and create some kind of wrapper system to deal with this?
 This seems fundamentally wrong: why not just fix the crashes?

 And I really don't think that PA itself crashes "very often" anyway. I've
 not seen any crash related tickets for a long time. If you have any back
 traces available, I'll be happy to take a look, but without some kind of
 information about the crashes you refer to, there is little we can do to
 help fix them.

 Now some kind of auto-reconnect logic is not necessarily a bad idea (I
 would find it useful when debugging) but this is really something up to
 the individual clients to implement. I've implemented such features in the
 various clients I've written, so really other clients need to do the same.
