If things get really bad, the node should restart itself.

For example, a node that at one point had lots of traffic (was well
integrated) and has none for some amount of time (hours) can reasonably
conclude that Something Has Gone Wrong and that it might as well restart.
No, this is not a well-reasoned approach, but yes, it is the right thing to
do.

The alternative is for a well-integrated node to be useless until its owner
notices it needs to be restarted.  Yuck.
