- Dropping patch:
Comment in Storm which explains the problem:
# Here is another sad story about bad transactional behavior. MySQL
# offers a feature to automatically reconnect dropped connections.
# What sounds like a dream, is actually a nightmare for anyone who
# is dealing with transactions. When a reconnection happens, the
# currently running transaction is transparently rolled back, and
# everything that was being done is lost, without notice. Not only
# that, but the connection may be put back in AUTOCOMMIT mode, even
# when that's not the default MySQLdb behavior. The MySQL developers
# quickly understood that this is a terrible idea, and removed the
# behavior in MySQL 5.0.3. Unfortunately, Debian and Ubuntu still
# have a patch right now which *reenables* that behavior by default
# even past version 5.0.3.
