For what it's worth, I imported the latest en:-dump a couple of days ago, and I had the same problem with the same page. I didn't have time to investigate, so I just removed the offending line from the .sql-file.
Brion's suggestion helped and it worked.
You need to add something like this to /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld] set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M
(or, if you are using MySQL 4 or above) [mysqld] max_allowed_packet=16M
and then restart.
Out of curiosity, is this a standard Perl script you are using for importing with a progress meter? Can I download it somewhere?
No, it's something I wrote. I added it to
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useless_Perl_Scripts
so you can download it there.
