[Serusers] New MySQL results in aborted connections from SER

[Stephen Helfen]

I was able to get ser (0.9.6) running with mysql 4.1.16, but upon upgrading 
to mysql 5.0.21, I am having problems again.  MySQL loads fine, as does SER, 
but when my UA attempts to register with the database, I see these errors 
throughout my mysql log:

[Warning] Aborted connection 109 to db: 'nv_proxy' user: 'nvproxy' host: 
'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets)

If I try to make a call, I get a 407 Proxy Authentication Required failure, 
which I expect.  There are no errors in /var/log/messages that indicate what 
exactly the problem is with my database access, so ser seems to think things 
are okay.

Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what I might have missed in my 
upgrade from 4.1.16 to 5.0.21 MySQL?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
