First, are you certain that the exception isn't happening until after 
connect()?  As of 17:46 GMT on Friday, set_option() takes effect 
immediately, instead of waiting until the connection establishment 
sequence.  If you checked out the code before Friday afternoon, try it 
again...things are quite a bit different now.

If that's not it, then I'd bet you're using MySQL development files 
older than 4.1.1.  That's the version that introduced the option. 
MySQL++ doesn't hide the option when built against an old version. 
(Maybe it should.)  Using an unsupported option just causes a run-time 
error.
