I don't know whether this is related or not, but I've also found that since upgrading to PHP 4.2.0 it is impossible to get mysql_connect() to connect via a UNIX socket. No matter whether I specify a socket manually or not, it always connects via TCP.
I have 4.1.2 running on a different server, and even just specifying "localhost" for the database host, automatically connects via UNIX socket.
