[Vortex] vortex_connection_is_ok not working properly

I think a miss something in my previous reply. 

Do you mean that the cached connection should be closed or not connected
and thus you are expecting vortex_connection_is_ok to return false for
the first time? 

If this is right you must check why this function returns true. Once a
connection is broken (due to the remote machine is down) it is
immediately detected and flagged as broken. At this point any call to
vortex_connection_is_ok will return false. 

It could happen that a race condition is found while the tcp close for
the broken pipe is received and your client application checks for its
status, but definitively not after 1 minute...

Thinking about the scenario it looks the connection is "reconnected"
before you check for the status, or the connection is ok at the time you
are checking the status...

Cheers!
