I'm seconding, but not that enthusiastically that it need to be said twice....
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

I just heard from Sergei Golubchik, a Senior Software Developer for MySQL AB, that what I found was, in fact, a bug in MySQL that could cause the count of connections to get out of whack.
Since the authors of MySQL agree there's a probem, is there any chance we could get the MySQL daemon restarted to make the symptoms go away for a few weeks?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I ♥ Rob

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Take that, someone!
Rob, that's amazing. Thank you so much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, Rob!
God, I love Buffistas.

Rob, wow. Go you!
With the continuous digging and the not despairing and the going-to-the-sources and, most of all, finding the origin of the problem!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah Rob & Sergei!
If we can get the daemon restarted, and the problem goes away, do we still need to move?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Nice call, Rob.
If we can get the daemon restarted, and the problem goes away, do we still need to move?
If the daemon is restarted the error messages will go away, probably for a couple of months. If the current version of mysql is replaced with one that has these new patches applied, the error messages will go away permanently.
Whether or not we are using mysql too heavily is a separate issue.

It looks like we've been sharing one connection for forever. I'm sure the traffic has lightened and we may have lost posters due to lack of patience, but I can't see, under non-race conditions, how we'd honestly use more than 100, seeing as we're getting clumsily by.
I hate writing code that hits a bug in another system -- where the hell do you start to work around that?
