Re: Aborted connection problems

[Jasper Bryant-Greene]

Just to add to this further, if I reduce max_allowed_packet in my.cnf 
down to around 16M, then the error changes to "Got a packet bigger than 
'max_allowed_packet' bytes".

However, as you can see from the SQL below, the longest SQL statement 
I'm executing is around 21 bytes, certainly nowhere near 16MB.
