[mythtv] connecting to remote MySql server with RedHat

[Mr. Adam ALLEN]

I've come across a problem, with a bit of google magic solved, but since
I couldn't find it in the archives (don't remember it been in the docs)-
it might be a good idea to share this experience with others..

Trying to get connection to the mysql (running on the backend server)
from the front-end kept failing.

Using mysql -hIP -uUSER -pPASS mythconverg returned,
"ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query" 

It appears to be a known problem with updates on RedHat (7.3 and 8.0)
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/rhn-users/2002-October/000962.html
Re-compiling MySQL from source(not RH's version) into an isolated
directory and running from there solved the problem.
