The create statement from the query log is:

CREATE TABLE tbl_boards(BID INT NOT NULL,_Group INT NULL,Code CHAR(10)
NULL,Description CHAR(50) NULL,Board_Size CHAR(50) NULL,Product_Line
CHAR(30) NULL,Featuring CHAR(255) NULL,Colour CHAR(255) NULL,Picture
LONGBLOB NULL,Label LONGBLOB NULL, PRIMARY KEY (BID));

and the INSERT statement is:

INSERT INTO  `tbl_boards`
(`BID`,`_Group`,`Code`,`Description`,`Board_Size`,`Product_Line`,`Picture`,`Label`)VALUES
 (1,1,'1','Colour Board - Glasstyle','450mm x 450mm x
6mm','Glasstyle','^U^\3\0^B\0\0\0^S\0^L\0^T\0\'\0˙˙˙˙Photo Editor

The blobs are about 250-400K each, the average row length is 850K and the
max_allowed_packet is 1M. It could be that some of the records are >1M. I
will check that. However, as I mentioned before, the INSERT works with
myisam tables.

I am running mysql-max on Linux (RedHat7.1) and mysql.err does not have any
error-related messages.
