I guess I wasn't clear enough.. I meant that the bug is in bluez which is also
running on remote device and is unlikely to get updated. No connection in 
opposite direction is taking place. It is bluez on initiator side that should
reconnect when it received PIN from user if acl was disconnected. Most agents
do service search in the meantime so l2cap exists and acl is not disconnected.

This can be easily reproduced with simple-agent which is not doing service
search.
