When the database stops the server can't reconnect to the database, and in this situation two bad things happens:
i) The web client, don't send the correct message to the user. The feedback a user receives is that the username/password is incorrect, this leads to frustration and confusion of users. The correct behavior would be to report for example “server or database not ready”.
ii) After that all openerp servers must be restarted, shutting down all user sessions, imagine a cluster with hundreds of server, thousands of users.
To reproduce just stop, and try to use the web client, start database again, and try to use the web client.
