hmmm.... you may be onto something there, Craig. Since it was the same
environment (we set up lots of LAMP servers and use a common MySQL
backend) I gave it the benefit of the doubt when I was initially
troubleshooting (the connection was there and everything looked sane).
I'll take another look at that.

Thanks.
