I'm getting some very inconsistent error when using Contact Create.  At what seems to be random points in my data set, the API will return the following result (in non-debug mode):
Array
(
    [is_error] => 1
    [error_message] => DB Error: no database selected
    [tip] => add debug=1 to your API call to have more info about the error
)

I really do not see a pattern as far as what input causes it - the only consistent thing I see is it seems to happen when pulling Custom Groups from the DB (on a select).  If I run the same data set through again, it fails on a different contact (while successfully processing the one it failed on before).  And, it seems the contacts it fails on are ones that were previously in the database.

I'm having a hard time debugging it.  I would love to get some help from the pros if I could.  Here is the output with debug on.  I have starred out the database password, but left everything else as-is.  Would some one mind looking at it and pointing me in the right direction?

The data set varies, but usually around 50-60 records at a time.  The script stops at random times, so it's hard to say how long - this last run, it processed about 38 contacts before it failed.  Other times, it failed quicker (again, because the second time around, it processes the one it just failed on, so it may be getting further each time, I should put a counter on it to debug).

if i had to guess this is a mysql parameter and the connection is being dropped/closed/aborted. However i dont know a lot about the parameters that control this

do a grep -r in the packages/DB* directory to find out where that error message is thrown
