{{Quickfixn}} How to get reason of disconnect?

[Grant Birchmeier]

Ah, I see your point.  For market data connections that are mostly
one-way and you're not submitting orders, then the logging can be
quite burdensome.  I can see how event-only logging might be desired
there.  It is something we can look into (unless someone else looks
into it first and submits a pull request).
