appdb: database issues

[Jeff Zaroyko]

The mysql database for the appdb/bugzilla appears to have gone down again,
I decided to look at the connection code in the appdb, as the appdb is thought
to be the culprit.

I came across the call to mysql_connect which is using the new_link parameter
set to true, which is supposedly to force a new connection to be established.

So, I searched through the git commit history using gitk and saw that Paul van
Schayck made a change introducing this, apparently because mysql was having
stability issues, back in 2005.

my understanding is that php will automagically reuse connections if this is not
set, would there by any objection to trialling a removal of this
option to see if
stability increases?
