The tables I am querying the most are quite small. I just query them a lot.
The system processes about 500k requests a day, and each request involves
multiple queries.

I have just enabled a bunch of logging to try and puzzle out what is going
on, but I can't see it being a help.. The same queries execute over and over
and over, for 24 hours until eventually they stop working. Perhaps the logs
will have some errors messages or something that will be helpful. It really
seems to me (as a programmer) that MySQL is running itself out of something
internally, and then just finally dying.

I am not a big system admin guy, but I am going to get upgraded to .55 in
the next few minutes, to see if that helps at all.. Reading the changes list
I don't see anything that would affect me, but ya never know.

Thanks for the assistance.

Cheers,
Jason
