Well, this should hopefully start to narrow it down. Thanks for the report!
in DatabaseFunctions.php::wfGetDB(): if ( ! $wgDBconnection ) { $wgDBconnection = mysql_pconnect( $wgDBserver, wgDBuser, $wgDBpassword ) or die( ..... ); mysql_select_db( $wgDBname, $wgDBconnection ) or die( .... ); }
The error message comes up on the mysql_select_db, and is the first thing we do after opening a connection; but since we're using persistent connections, it could be left in an odd state after the last process...?
