Does anyone have any idea as to what this is?

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.5 Beta 4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT dateline, userid FROM customavatar WHERE userid = 0;

Sounds to me like a timeout. Check the wait_timeout and/or max_allowed_packet setting in your MySQL settings file.

It's rather odd that it tried to select an entry from the customavatar table with the userid 0.

The time out is set ok as is the max packet. They are both set pretty high.

I get these very random errors on occasion so they are not a huge issue but this is still bugging me...

The only changes I have made recently that could possibly be related is the addition of redis cache to my server and I also installed DBtech optimization. Everything else is running fine.. I got 2 of these errors yesterday and one today and traffic has not really been a factor at around 1,600 uniques.. load should not be an issue at all..

Thanks
