Description:
In include/wait_until_connected_again.inc:

# Include this script to wait until the connection to the
# server has been restored or timeout occurs
#
# $wait_counter - can be set before calling the script, will be reset at the end
#
# $explicit_default_counter - can be set before calling the script,
#                             reset only at the end of the test, overrides $wait_counter

However several tests use $explicit_default_wait_counter, which has no effect but is more logical.

How to repeat:
Code inspection.

Suggested fix:
Standardize on $explicit_default_wait_counter in include/wait_until_connected_again.inc and all tests.
