note 74439 added to function.mysql-connect

Drowning under a sea of connections using mysql_connect (not pconnect) I found that php connections did NOT go away at the end of a page load. Only by setting the directive mysql.allow_persistent = Off made the connections go away. So unless I've missed something else or don't understand the meaning of 'script' the following note on this page is incorrect: Note: The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling mysql_close().
