Karma should start a new browser instance when disconnected by a SyntaxError

Expected behaviour

I would expect that karma would close the current connection and automatically launch another browser instance when it sees another change in the files that it is watching.

HeadlessChrome 0.0.0 (Mac OS X 10.11.6) ERROR
  Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
  at event_sequencing.js:52


HeadlessChrome 0.0.0 (Mac OS X 10.11.6): Executed 0 of 5 SUCCESS (0 secs / 0 secs)
HeadlessChrome 0.0.0 (Mac OS X 10.11.6): Executed 5 of 5 SUCCESS (0.012 secs / 0.005 secs)
12 11 2017 08:26:17.933:INFO [watcher]: Changed file "/Users/williamrusnack/Documents/event_sequencing/test.js".

Actual behaviour

Karma instead continues to try and connect to the disconnect browser session when it knows that it has lost the connection.

Environment Details

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Include any syntax error in the javascript test file or the file to be tested that causes the browser to disconnect.
