3249	Midnight Commander cannot connect via SSH after the network connection got broken and then up again	csbubbles		"
Repro:

1. Open Midnight Commander
2. Connect to a remote server via SSH (menu: ""Left"" / ""Shell link..."")
3. Wait till the connection gets broken (to force it, simply disconnect from the network in the system)
4. Try to navigate through the directories on the remote machine (which is unavailable now), Midnight Commander will start navigating on the local machine
5. Enable network again if it was disabled at the step 3
6. Try to connect to a remote server via SSH again (menu: ""Left"" / ""Shell link..."")

Result:

Midnight Commander shows the error ""Can't open ssh://... directory"". And the only way to connect to a remote machine is to restart Midnight Commander (after the relaunch, you can connect to a remote machine over SSH again).

Expected result:

Midnight Commander connects to a server after the network is up again with no need to restart it.
