Guess I'll have to crack open the mysqldb source code and fire up a 
debugger.  The main problem with using multiple connections is that I 
have to cache the user's password in order to repoen the connection 
which makes me feel very queasy.

The error is very reproducible but that fact that it works sometimes and 
not others means that it is probably a bug in mysqldb.
