4.06 is a relatively new version I remember them coming out with it this past fall... that really shouldn't be your problem.
Yes, but check this out: I ran my forum on another host that was running PHP 4.1.2 and NEVER saw the problem in 4 months. Likewise, I put a copy of my PHP pages on the server that mysql is currently running on (MacOS X and version 4.1.2 of PHP) and haven't seen the error on that box, either.
