When a query exceeds the size of the maximum allowed packet, mysqld closes the connection. It assumes something has gone wrong with the client. There are two max_allowed_packet variables, one for the server and one for the client. This is documented in section A.2.9 of the documentation http://www.mysql.org/doc/refman/4.1/en/packet-too-large.html
