Error description

• The Synergy server may be vulnerable to resource leaks when the
  client process is killed (or crashed) in the middle of an
  operation. This is because the server does not have a mechanism
  to detect crashed clients.
  
  Part of the Synergy design is to tolerate temporary network
  glitches (lost of connections). Therefore, the server keeps the
  client data alive while lost the connection with the client.
  However, in order to reclaim the resources, we would add a
  timeout mechanism to the server to abort the client's operation
  after certain period of time so that the resource can be reused.
