Comment:

 (In [23397]) Add TCP keepalive to MythSocket connections. Patch from Jeff
 Lu with
 small modification suggested by Paul Kendall.

 In summary, broken connections should now be closed gracefully after a
 system specific timeout. For improved usability the timeout should
 probably be reduced.

 I think this should still be the fallback for broken connections - a
 complete solution would include a 'hearbeat' monitor between
 frontends/backends, as has been proposed before, that would detect
 broken connections in a timely manner (although, thinking about it, I'm
 not sure what additional functionality that provides!).

 Closes #7839. See the original ticket for full details.
