 You can't reliably use MythContext::IsConnectedToMaster(void) to
 determine if you have a valid connection to the Master Server because it
 always returns true after a successful connection has been made even when
 the Master Server has gone away.

 It means you can't use something like:
 {{{
 if (!gContext->IsConnectedToMaster())
     gContext->ConnectToMasterServer();
 }}}
 to make sure a connection is still alive.
