[Zope] MySql connector error

I have a mysqldb connector object based on http://svn.zope.org/mysqldbda/ under zope 2.9.7 Intermittently, I recieve an error *Shouldn't load state for 0xf5f137 when the connection is closed * I implemented this object because the standard mysql database adapter would fail if the connection was idle for some time with a similar kind of error. class MySQLdbAdapter(SimpleItem,ZopeDatabaseAdapter): ... def __call__(self): ... return connection there is an object stored, I call it and return the mysql cursor and use cursor to make queries ala the python module. Does this look famileir to anyone else, if so, how was the error overcome? -Kevin
