I had the same problem, try to put this line in my.cnf
[safe_mysqld]
open-files=1536
# or
open-files-limit = 1000
Can't tell you exactly what line to put in my.cnf because can't reach
this config now.

I've got an OpenBSD 3.7 server with mysql-server-4.0.23p1.tgz
installed from packages. Once a week or so, the mysql server will
stop taking queries, commands, etc. Applications that rely on the
database will complain of having lost the connection. Attempting any
mysql or mysqladmin commands also report a lost connection:
# mysqladmin -p status
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query'
There are no error messages in /var/mysql/`hostname`.err that would
suggest anything is wrong. Has anyone else run into problems with
this version? Any success stories with the newest 4.1.14 port
running on 3.7?
Thanks,
