You end up in an infinite loop (even upon re-connection) because you have not a break statement condition for the outer loop: try to add one last statement after print "Succesfully reconnected!\n";.

EDIT:

I've lost a chunk of code while copy/pasting: it is the case then that after sleeping your connection goes down again (maybe is the server which close the connection?). You have to dig deeper and debug/print the status of the connection after re-connection to see why it goes down.

I'd also recommend to refactor the entire thing in smaller subroutines in order to better handle the overall logic.

Test also if this parameter can already help you out with disconnections/re-connections.
