RTC unavailable if Connection to BuildForge is lost

We recently moved our Build forge system form a stage environment into production. To err on the side of caution, we changed the name of the build forge server on the build forge tab of the build definition to a server that did not exist. However we did not disconnect the the build definition from the RationalBuildForgeConnector.

This resulted in the excessive sockets opening that would bring our staging server to a halt. The websphere log file revealed the following exception.
