Sporadic database connection issue

I thought about that but I really don't believe that is the problem. Here is why: this can happen at anytime of the day: high load, low load, etc. Also, it usually happens on the first page of the site, so it is happening from the beginning of the loading of the page. I have had it where most of the page has loaded, then there is an ajax call, and in the return the div that holds the return, that same error. I haven't been able to duplicate the error for testing purposes.

Also, per my post, I thought changing the my.cnf values would fix the problem. Obviously not.
