Normally, when a bot is disconnected (eg. line is disconnected), he will
automatically reconnect when it is possible again.

However...

I noticed, that with bots in global mode, they often (or always?) log
back in normal (non-global) mode.

The documentation does not say whether this is the intended behaviour or
not, but it appears to me that, on/after each disconnect, the wisest
decision is to destroy the instance and log the bot back in manually.

In a very honest email, Roland Vilett suggested to me that if any sort
of disconnection occurs, destroy the instance and start all over.
This was his strategy, a bit extreme, but it works (xelagot uses a
milder strategy). I keep a boolean varialble for 'desired global
mode', and always set my wish (yes or no global mode) when logging
into a world. It works.
