It means that the mysql daemon terminated after you "connected" to it. It's possible that the daemon was restarted. Therefore, it might be wise to set up an "exception" handler for this error. Maybe one or two consecutive reconnect attempts would be in order.
By the way, this is an error specific to MySQL. You can find error codes documented at www.mysql.com.
