Chris, this means that your MySQL is not using Unix sockets. Probably
this is because it was compiled to use the MIT-threads library, and not
your native threads. This has been covered in the mailing list recently.
Here's a summary:
Either always supply the host name when connecting, or get a version of
MySQL that uses Unix threads. On Linux you should be using LinuxThreads.
On FreeBSD you should be using libc_r (native kernel threads). The
MySQL manual has FULL instructions on this in the "Installation" section.
