It's unclear from your code where/how you try to re-connect. IIUC,
your HandleConnect() function doesn't reconnect, but just iterates
over the endpoints that you were given by the address resolver...
So if you've got 1 endpoint, then the 1st time you get into
HandleConnect with some error - you call DoClose(), and if the
io_service has no more work, it just ends (with the whole thread).
