 By the looks of it, this is a little more complex:
 
 1) auto-reconnect as detailed in the patch only became available in 5.0
 2) it was already enabled by default for mysql<=5.0.3
 3) MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT only became available as of mysql>=5.0.13
 
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/auto-reconnect.html
 
 So this patch, in it's current from, will only work for mysql>=5.0.13.
 I'm happy to commit it as soon as I find a way of making sure it does
 not impact people running mysql<5.0.13.
