Its a freak thing that only happens when your low on connections

Thanks, Scott, I wasn't sure if it was anything to worry about. Just for curiosity's sake, what do you mean "low on connections"? I read the link you supplied and I didn't see that anywhere.

Its the Too many connections bit half way down the post.

You need to increase the max number of connections in my.cnf
