Well.

I.e. today the gab is after 4 hours somewhere around 2000.

My software runs on a Terminal Server.
The clients connects to this server, and works there.
My customer has just moved to a new location.

Therefor they have gotten a new router etc.
After this the clients "falls off" every once in a while.

When they fall off, whatever programs they had opend will be
terminated.

Could this termination couse the gab to grow ?
