Actually, at this very moment I have a listener tuned in with MO agent for over five hours continuously so far (no disconnects/reconnects).
What's more is that they are connecting and listening in parallel exactly every 100 minutes. So currently that user has four simultaneous connections: 5h10m, 3h30, 1h50m, 10m0s. Dodgy eh?
Other MO agent listeners do display the intermittent connectivity problem though.
