Quoting Alex Dubov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
libmysqlclient v4 reconnects automatically when mysqld
closes connection. libmysqlclient v5 won't. I thought
to implement explicit reconnect for this condition,
but then found that it can be easily enabled in mysql
In your testing, does 3rd comment on this page hold true?

Peter claims options for reconnect should be called after the
connection. I'm guessing you're using something above 5.0.16, so this
may have been fixed, although this page seems to support him:
