Description:
While exploring interfacing MySQL vs. 4.020a with the MySQL Connector/Net I found that the server always report an error like:
040915 20:36:59  Aborted connection 79 to db: 'firstdb' user: 'csharp' host: `piii700.localdomain' (Got an error reading communication packets)
It doesn't matter whether I connect to a local server or one on another machine.
Here is a stub of the smallest piece of code that produces the errors:
....
try 
{
    myConnection = new MySqlConnection( myConnectionString );
    myConnection.Open();
} 
catch ( MySqlException e )
{
    Console.WriteLine( e.Message );
}
finally
{
    myConnection.Close();
}
Simple reading from and writing to tables works fine. The error message does not occur when I step through my code with a debugger line by line. It shows up only after the client process has been terminated.

It seems that the error is harmless and it could related to not closing the connection properly when myConnection.Close() gets called. 

How to repeat:
The error message occurs always.

I should probably more specific about the connection string:
static String myConnectionString = String.Format( "Database={0};Data Source={1};User Id={2};Password={3};pooling=false", database, datasource, user, pw );
The error occurs regardless of pooling being true or false.
