I read the MysQL documentation re the Server Gone Away error but nothing there applied to my situation. On a whim, I re-created the table I was trying to import into but without the foreign key constraint (I had only disabled the foreign key constraint in the previous failed efforts). This time it worked like a champ. So it's an issue with trying to disble foreing key? When I tried to alter the table, after the load, to re-create the foreign key, there _were_ constraint failures; so, who knows? I will say, however, that if it was a foreign key constraint issue, the error message sure was mis-leading.
