Comment:

 Added another fix in this branch that appears to work very well for
 keeping the proxypair active:
 https://github.com/cohosh/snowflake/compare/ticket31100

 There's a possible race condition with the timeout if the proxypair fails
 and then is reused immediately before the timeout occurs. This happens if,
 for example, the connection to the bridge fails (as in #31231).

 I think a good way to handle this is to increase the poll interval to
 10-20 seconds and then set the timeout to whatever that poll interval is.
