Thanks for finding an easy way to reproduce the problem. The problem
was that the code that handled the forwarding was failing to clear
some state about the connections, so it got confused. I've checked in
a fix. It still tries for ever, but now it keeps going back to the
original location as it should, and does an exponential back-off to
avoid using all the CPU time.

Cheers,

Duncan.
