I have. This did occur to me, but I did not think it was likely that this was
the case, since it seemed that the error occured during the driver's
execution of the query (since the SELECT statement shows up in the server
log). I am not a tcp/ip or firewall expert though, so I'll pick up on your
suggestion and see where it leads. BTW, there is a part of the server's log
that says that it is reaping dead processes (probably during night) before
the SELECT statement occurs. Would that be an indication that connections
might have been dropped?

Nope.
