Subject: Ruby DBI, MySQL and Win2K Server

I'm having an odd problem with the Ruby DBI for MySQL on Linux when trying 
to talk to a Windows 2000 server running MySQL.  After several thousand to 
a few hundred thousand reads both sides go idle as if they were each 
waiting for the other end to say something.  If I move the databases over 
to a Linux MySQL server, everything works fine.  I've upgraded to MySQL 
4.0.12 everywhere and the latest DBI and DBD for MySQL.  Since I've been 
unable to convince the guy I'm working for that he should be using Linux 
for his servers, I'm stuck needing to be able to talk to Win2K.  Help?
