I suspect this has nothing to do with connections, but with msql software
limitations. I used to crash msql2-win32 routinely, mostly on inserts with
TEXT fields. It also had problems on joins. I'd advise converting to mysql
(see www.tcx.se) if at all possible; it is far more stable, handles many
more query & data types, and is MUCH faster on joins.

Mysql is mostly upward-compatible with msql, as well.
