Too many open links sounds to me like you've set up MySQL to only allow X
connections, and you are trying to open up X+1 connection.

The 0 would make me guess that X is 0.

So I'd *GUESS* you have a setting in my.cnf that says to limit number of
connections to 0, and that means you can't have any connections at all...

Just a GUESS.
