Interesting - I may not have seen the issue because I may not have had 
a high enough count of concurrent users.  Two sites with the highest 
amounts would be between 50 and 100 concurrent users.  Config is 
run-of-the-mill webservers (Dell PE 2650's) and MySQL 4.1 on a PE 6650 
(that handles dozens of other databases, but not terribly loaded - most 
tables of the databases are MyISAM) and replicated to identical 
hardware.  However, I had been running some of the sites off an old 
MySQL 3.23.58 server on a PE 2650, until of late, with no ill-effect.
