As I mentioned, only one pipe is accepted at any given time. Just
because externally it seems like the connection has dropped, it doesn't
mean the TCP socket is gone yet and thus the pipe will still be there,
and further connection will be refused.

Your best bet is to try and use the heartbeat options with aggressive
timings, which should cause the binding side to drop the dead pipe much
faster.

But in the end, PAIR is meant to be used between two endpoints, hence
the name - if one disappears and another arrives, it's no longer a
pair, and as they say, three's a crowd.
