Dbd::mysql:st execute failed

Folks:

I have a new RT installation that has been causing me nightmares. When I
mail the system, it replies with a ticket number, but then fails to
actually create the ticket. The error given is:

[Mon Jun 5 19:55:57 2006] [warning]: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL
server has gone away at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 492.
(/opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm:287)

Note that it got a ticket number and read some scrips before throwing this
error, so mysql is “clearly” available. I have tried reinstalling
dbd::mysql, and even tried reinstalling all of mod_perl2.

‘make testdeps’ does succeed properly, and I’ve noted no other problems
with mysql. I’ve tried dropping and rebuilding the mysql database, and
the same problem recurs (make dropdb; make initialize-database).

I’m running rt 3.4.5 on RHEL ES 4.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
