I'm receiving the following error sporadically when I run 4.9 CVS in RPC 
mode (on a near-stock 4.9 foundation catalog):

"Died in server spawn: connect failed -- unknown error. Driver 'mysql' 
installed?"  (which causes a 500 error for the user)

Obviously, the mysql driver is installed, it's the "unknown error" part 
that worries me.  Perhaps the DBI->install_driver() is having some kind of 
trouble when in RPC mode?  It is easily reproducible when running 2 or more 
concurrent requests.  MaxServers 0 doesn't seem to make a difference in 
this case.

For the time being, I'll just run in HIGH mode, but I hope that reporting 
it will help someone else (or help get it resolved).  As part of debugging, 
I built 5.8.0 with default options, and carefully installed DBD::mysql; but 
neither attempt helped.

  * Environment:

Linux 2.4.7-10enterprise #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 16:48:20 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
(Dual celeron 1.0 ghz, 512 mb ram)
Perl 5.6.1 & 5.8.0 both exhibit the same problem.
