[JS] You hit the nail on the head.

I wondered about max_allowed_packet, but the documentation says that it 
applies to BLOBs or long strings. It didn't occur to me that a query could, 
itself, be a long string.

My query is a tad more than 2mb, so setting max_allowed_packet to 3mb fixed it 
right up.

Thanks!
