All I can say is I get no errors of this kind in my code, which runs

 $sth=$dbh->prepare("select param1,param2 from sometable");
 $sth->execute;

 while (@resultset = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
     ...... do something with them .
   }
$sth->finish;


I don't think calling $sth-finish should make the difference, but maybe if
you have already used $sth once there is a problem?
Try it anyway :->
