php 4.x.x compiled under solaris 7 looses connection to a remote mysql server. If I do this:

$link = mysql_connect ("warnix", "chrisb", "xxx");
mysql_select_db("track",$link);
$query_string = "select * from picfile";
mysql_db_query("track",$query_string,$link);
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."\n";
mysql_close ($link);

I get the following error

2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

and the servers logfile looks like:

000823 12:17:16      65 Connect    chrisb@picsrv1 on
                     65 Init DB    track
                     65 Quit
                     66 Connect    chrisb@picsrv1 on
                     66 Init DB    track
                     66 Quit

if I use php compiled under solaris 2.6 (same configure settings) everything works fine and the servers logfile looks like this:

000828 15:25:39      75 Connect    chrisb@picsrv1 on
                     75 Init DB    track
                     75 Init DB    track
                     75 Query      select * from picfile
                     75 Quit

I have tried this with 4.0.0, 4.0.1 and 4.0.1pl2...
