"BYE System Error" from Gmail

[mvip]

When I'm connected to Gmails (via IMAP) and read messages, I have encountered the following error (sporadically) on in the front-end:

No mailbox is open.

When running in debug mode (-d3), the debug message tells me the following:

> a0061 UID FETCH 56 BODY.PEEK[]
< * BYE System Error
Handling BYE
System Error
> a0062 CLOSE
< a0061 NO System Error (Failure)
Connection to imap.gmail.com closed
imap_cmd_step: Error reading server response.
imap_exec: command failed: 
CLOSE failed
mutt_socket_close: Attempt to close closed connection.
mx_check_mailbox: null or invalid context.
No mailbox is open.

Although this is a remote server-error, it would be desirable if Mutt quietly reconnects and tries to read the message again.
