Debugging disconnect errors with jython wrapper for ymsg

As a proof of concept we have setup a yahoo answer bot that is a jython wrapper to the ymsg library ([login to view URL]) The answer bot seems to work fine but if the client is online for more than 3 hours (idle) it will disconnect and then end up in a re-connect loop until yahoo blocks the IP address temporarily. We need someone to diagnose why the disconnect happens and prevent this from happening. Example code will be provided which when run will throw the disconnect error after ~3 hours of idle time.
