[Bioperl-l] Error making query to Bio::DB:GFF db

[Andrew Nunberg]

I have a Bio::DB:GFF db of the human genome.

When querying a particular chromosome I consistenly get the following error
when attempting to create a segment

------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: Couldn't execute query SELECT fref,
       IF(ISNULL(gclass),'Sequence',gclass),
       min(fstart),
       max(fstop),
       fstrand,
       gname
  FROM fdata,fgroup
  WHERE fgroup.gname=?
    AND fgroup.gclass=?
    AND fgroup.gid=fdata.gid
    GROUP BY fref,fstrand,gname
:
 MySQL server has gone away


What does this mean the server has gone away??
