From grepping mysql source it's just a db connection issue. I'd guess you just abended the server-side mysql process somehow and the client noticed the disconnection. Consider looking into your MySQL documentation further to see how you're breaking MySQL. Perhaps your data column cannot accept binary data. Perhaps you need to use a different interface to get your data loaded into the db.

Update: Hmm... apparently I was incorrect. Oh well.
