The problem is/was persistent database connections ... the problem, IMHO,
is that there is no way of 'timing out' idle connections, so any load on
the web site that creates a whack of persistent connections, and then they
all go idle, then if another hit on a different database goes through, it
gets starved for connections ...
I've started to disable PHPs default of allowing persistent connections,
which seems to have help'd ...
