Yes. It's a problem with the way the new MySQL was written in its defaults. When 5.0.x came around, they defaulted to timing out the connections. There's a fix, but it ONLY works on MySQL 5.0.19 and above (they implemented the fix around 5.0.12, but it didn't work until 5.0.19). IF you have 5.0.19 and above, I've attached a patched my_con.c file (goes in $SER-SRC/modules/mysql). Recompile with the new file and it should work (I've added an option to reconnect on timeout). Let me know if you have any questions concerning its implementation. N.
