Yes. The default for these are very high which often causes problems for applications that don't implement connection pooling.

There could be a problem with the underlying Python driver and thus the ZopeDA so you might want to install the latest version of both: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307 MySQL 3.2 is still supported. But you should also run Zope in debug mode and see what gets written to the error log.
