[Bug 1144] New: when pmcd gives up on a pmda, it should explain what it was doing

Bug ID	1144
Summary	when pmcd gives up on a pmda, it should explain what it was doing
Product	pcp
Version	unspecified
Hardware	All
OS	Linux
Status	NEW
Severity	major
Priority	P5
Component	pcp

Classification	Unclassified

When there is a pmcd<->pmda communication breakdown (timeout or whatever), the
pmcd logs are quite opaque as to -why-.  It should log the last request to the
pmda (a fetch?  initial handshaking?  ...?) and any other such nearby info that
can help a pcp developer diagnose what went wrong.

Similarly, a pmda that encounters an EOF from pmcd should log its recent
history, like the type of packet it was just trying to respond to.
