#15848: Automatic reconnecting fails after being unable to resolve address for
gmail.com

Milestone:            |  Component:  libpurple
  Version:  2.10.7    |   Keywords:  dns error reconnect
----------------------+---------------------------------
 Even thought Pidgin always connects successfully after being started and
 Empathy always reconnects automatically after reconnecting to internet
 Pidgin always fails to reconnect after connecting to internet. Debug log
 says it can't resolve address for gmail.com, so it has something to do
 DNS.
