Sorry for the delay.

I would rather look at the log of the sql server. Also check what limit of 
concurrent connections is configured for your server:

mysqld --help| grep max_connections
   --max_connections=# The number of simultaneous clients allowed.
                       value is 0 then mysqld will reserve
                       max_connections*5 or
                       max_connections + table_cache*2 (whichever is
                       larger)
max_connections                   100
