Before this patch if the remote master was killed, the local slave lied & said
	communication error with localhost
With this patch the code at least no longer lies.

I would like to read the code & do better, but I dont have time.

the code has not been unchanged for over 4 years 
this diff also applies to 7.0-RELEASE
