Notification errors

Here's what I see when I get a new notification in the new music heading:

Oooops! If you ran into this message, we need to apologize! Something seems to have struck the database, so it could not handle your request. We are working to solve the issue - please refresh this page by F5 button after a short while!
Unable to establish connection to MySQL
2002 : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Not trying to load you down, Dick, just thought you might appreciate the bug report.

Thanks for your engine room heroics!!

This seems to be fixed, thanks Dick!

sorry for not replying any sooner - that kind of message is something... that tells us our server is scratching the edge of what it can handle, traffic wise... so, thats not a "bug" in the original sense... its just a reminder that we'll need more server power sometime soon.
It may however also appear in times when someone is doing server maintenance... or some coder has come up with a script that goes wild...many options :)

Good to know! Thanks!
