For example, your program may have died and during cleanup, $dbh->disconnect would have caused the above message (since you didn't call finish if the program died before the statement was executed).

I've seen this myself, and unless it's actually impeding further lines from executing, it's mostly harmless. Of course it does go against programmer nature to allow any nuisance messages that you could stop. I do believe that disconnect or a second statement handle is coming into play before your first finish.

Obligatory request for system info:

• Database (version)
• DBI/DBD (version)

We may be able to see it once we know more.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
