I had an issue with socket-io reconnect. May be this case will help someone. I had code like this:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(8080);
DB.connect(function () {
    io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
        initSockets(socket);
    });
});

this is wrong, becase there is a delay between open port assigned callbacks. Some of messages may be lost before DB gets initialized. The right way to fix it is:

var io = null;
DB.connect(function () {
    io = require('socket.io').listen(8080);
    io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
        console.log("On connection");
        initSockets(socket);
    });
});
