#4 No graceful recovery from bad DBH

[Gryphon Shafer]

When a database handle goes bad for whatever reason,
the system typically tosses back an error page.
Generally speaking, most of these error pages go away
with a page refresh. It'd be nice if the system handles
DBH problems more gracefully. The system should try to
reconnect automatically on failure once, then send a
more descriptive error page back to the user.
