Request for help understanding error message

Anyone have insight into this error message? I get it when I update a field in my content type:
user warning: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes query: UPDATE cache_views SET data =... (lots of data)
Thanks...

It is a MySQL setting. See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/packet-too-large.html
Thank you!
That did the trick! I also found something here:http://drupal.org/node/121390.
Since I'm running MySQL using MAMP, my fix was to edit /applications/MAMP/binstartMysql.sh and add the flag:
-- max_allowed_packet=32M
Great tip!
I am running on MAMP also.
Note the space in the above will cause an error, should be:
--max_allowed_packet=32M
Just a note for others...
In addition to the correct from hunthunthunt - also be sure to place it before the ampersand at the end of the file. (in my first attempt at getting this to work, I didn't notice it there) :-)
