Comment (by WilliamDeRieux@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 gigem]:
 > William, since this is a serious problem and nobody else is reporting
 it, it doess seem to be specific to your system.  Just in case it's
 version specific, can you easily try MariaDB version 10.1.24-6 from Debian
 testing?  That's what I'm using and I haven't had any issues.

 Perhaps using MariaDB would help -- basically I think it's a mysql driver
 issue.

 The thing is, as I reported earlier, I have temporarily worked around the
 issue on my end by disabling the call to PurgeIdleConnections() and it has
 been working for more than a week.

 I know PurgeIdleConnections() is there for a reason, but right now I have
 it working....(I don't know how long it would take for the idle
 connections to build up enough to be an issue -- it's likely that it would
 take months and months of constant running to do it.....so I don't see an
 immediate issue with this workaround ATM.)

 I might try updating to MariaDB if I have any further issues with
 this...(I think upgrading would require exporting data from mysql to
 mariadb, or maybe the installer does this for you -- I don't know, but
 like I said things are working right now and I don't want to break it
 anymore ATM)

 Thanks

 PS: I'll update this ticket with more info if I update the mariaDB
 (curretnly I have 10.1.21-5 available).
