Ok, we think we know how this happens now.
User has a session, let's use ROBS1 for an example.
He minimizes ROBS1 and cannot find it.
So he starts it again and now has two ROBS1 sessions.
The second one cannot connect because that session is in use. However, if you have autoconnect turned on, it never stops trying.
Wham: Denial Of Service.
