Looks like this has fixed the problem.  I've been connected using IDLE 
mode for most of the day here, and I haven't seen it get into a situation 
where it stops sending notifications.

In addition, it does indeed disconnect after about 30 minutes -- something 
that I vaguely noticed it wasn't doing before.  Now that I think about it, 
the original problem started happening after about 30 minutes into the 
session.  Guess this makes sense as it is all related.

Thanks very much for the fix!
