Hi Thomas, how are you?

I don't have the feeling that it has anything to do with the count of 
possible connections. Rather with both libraries trying to use the same 
"default connection".

I don't know if those libraries are using the function mysql_connect but 
I think

http://php.speedbone.de/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

could give you at least some clues of how connections fall back to 
defaults if not all parameters are given.

Elmar
