Occassional failed connection to mysql XAMPP 1.6.3a

[dwmcqueen]

I am occassionally getting a failed connection via my PHP script to the localhost MySQL under XAMPP 1.6.3a. I have bumped up the max connections in the my.cnf. However, the problem usually goes away with a reload. I do have probably at least 62 concurrent connections at any time.

Anywhere else I should look?
