PHP3 is running as an apache module, as is PHP2 (2.0.2-dev).
We first saw this behavior upon upgrading after beta 5
came out.  PHP was re-compiled last night from CVS.

Extensions: PHP core, Apache, Basic Functions, PHP_DL,
PHP_dir, PHP_filestat, PHP_file, PHP_head, Sendmail,
Syslog, MySQL, Regular Expressions, gd, Oracle, Crypt,
DMB, browscap, PHP_pack.

MySQL version: 3.21.24-gamma

Example Code:
mysql_connect("bolt.clearink.com", "httpd");

Scripts in both PHP3 and PHP2 fail to connect when executing
the mysql_connect() command.  The error message is:  

Warning: MySQL: Unable to connect to server: Can't connect to MySQL server on bolt.clearink.com (126) in
content/functions/global_settings on line 78

Since this happens in both PHP3 and PHP2, we thought it
might be a problem with MySQL or Apache.  However,
neither of these were upgraded before we noticed this
behavior.  We did upgrade MySQL from a 3.19 version last
night, but the problem is still happening.

If we reload the page, the connect will eventually succeed.
The problem is much worse on PHP3, however, where it may 
take ten retries.

Fixed!  Fix options:
1.  Get the latest CVS
2.  Get the patched MySQL file from http://il.php.net/~bourbon/mysql.c
3.  Wait for beta 6, due today or tomorrow
