Aborted connection means that vpopmail did not call the
mysql_close() function, and instead just exited and let
the operating system close all of it's file descriptors/sockets.
This isn't a big problem, since any decent server, mysql included,
should be able to clean up when sockets/descriptors close.
I will have to audit the qmailadmin code to add in vclose()
calls before any exits. That will remove the errors from
your mysql log.
