For pubserver it's an feature, when a player disconnects he doesn't came
back in many cases.  

On local games it's really bad, because a narrow game is lost when you
lose 1 turn because a client crash this way.

I think this feature has to be changed that it is possible to reconnect
without losing a turn.
