I think the first question is do we *want* to fix it, or is it
appropriate behavior?
If the master shuts down, will the slaves try to fail over to become
masters? When the master restarts, will the slaves automatically
reconnect? If these questions have the wrong answers, shutting down the
master isn't something to be done lightly, and automatically
disconnecting slaves would be a real bad idea.
