I'm having a problem in some production code that I can't figure out. 
I'll post the complete actual code below.  This code is running in three 
places and has the same problem in two of them at the same time.  The 
other I'm not sure, it may be that the personnel operating it are 
restarting the program and so don't complain.  This piece of code is a 
simple client that connects via a Socket to a server.  The server 
supplies some data and the client reads that data and files it away.  It 
is supposed to restart itself if there is a connection failure or fault 
for whatever reason.  The problem is that at some random point in time 
the Socket disconnects, the code logs the disconnect but never restarts. 
  It does print the "SportsWinClient Disconnected" message but never 
executes the "fireconnectionEvent()" method after creating a new Socket. 
  It doesn't print any Exception message.  I'm not sure how it gets out 
of the try block without printing the "End of Stream" message or an 
exception message.

The crazy part is that all night long when there is no activity from the 
server it times out and restarts with no problems.

I'm hoping that somebody will see a fault in my code that could cause 
the failure.  It is not a compile problem so I left the formatting as it is.

Thanks for looking.
