This dreaded MySQL error and subsequent Warning is due, except in rare cases, to a lack of resources available to MySQL required for the operation of your Drupal installation. Allowing the necessary resources to MySQL resolves this issue most of the time. See http://drupal.org/node/259580 and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html about the causes and solutions for this error message.
