replication sync_client dying cyrus-imap 2.3.0

[Patrick H Radtke]

If sync_client cannot contact the replica server (or if there is some 
other error that it can't recover from) then it 'bails out' and stops 
running.

I guess the idea being that sync_client can't do aynthing until you fix 
the problem.

We run monitoring software that lets us know if sync_client dies, and 
attempts to restart it for us.
