Understood, and agreed. From digging deeper into this it does look like it was some sort of WK<->Mysql problem --probably MySQL barfed because of too many connections or something. The problem is that MySQL recovered fine but WK did not. Restarting WK is definitely the "nuclear" option, but I am out of ideas... my other one is wrapping DB cursor access with another class, catching the error and then either refreshing the connection and/or restarting WK --if that's possible, i.e. restarting WK from within itself...
Just brainstorming guys...
