I think it might make sense to put in a (couple of?) SpecialSub
link(s). Perhaps 

	SpecialSub   pre_reconfig   global_reset_dbi
	SpecialSub   post_reconfig   global_reset_dbi

Then in your global sub:

GlobalSub <<EOS
sub global_reset_dbi {
	%Vend::Table::DBI::DBI_connect_bad = ();
}
EOS

I don't think we want to touch this by default in the current version.
I doubt there are many, if any, using ALT_DSN, though, and that would
be ripe for removal in future versions.
