Default Linux Servers not on Server List after LS Downtime

Every time that the login server is down for any extended amount of time, it seems that some servers never reconnect to the Login Server unless they are restarted. I think this is only an issue on Linux, as many servers that are probably running Windows seem to show up just fine automatically once the Login Server comes back up. I don't know if it is all builds of Linux, but I know for sure that it happens on Debian Linux, as my server (Storm Haven), and EZ Server which now runs Debian Linux as well both don't show up on the server list after the Login Server has been down for a while.

It seems like it tries to connect over and over for a while and then if no connection is made, it eventually just stops trying and won't automatically connect after that point. This has become a more noticeable issue in the past couple of weeks due to the frequency of extended down times on the Login Server.

If anyone knows how to correct this, or possibly some source code changes to keep the server trying to connect to the Login Server indefinitely (never giving up), they would be much appreciated. I have looked through the source some and wasn't able to find any particular limiting settings for reconnect attempts.
