mysql_pconnect and Mysql for win32

Hi! Does anybody know if permament connections (mysql_pconnect) works with MySql for windows? For Mysql versions 3.21.xx and 3.23.xx (both in beta versions) I've got too many connection error after some time of using it. I tought that pconnect resolves existing connections but it looks like with mysql for win it doesn't. I've tried to set some mysql variables to shorter time but with no effect :-(( In processlist I get 101 threads (it's default max_connections) and almost all connections are "sleeping". Unix version of mysql seems to work good with p_connect. Or maybe there is error in PHP (for windows) mysql_pconnect() function? I'm using PHP 4.0.1pl2 as an Apache(1.3.12) module. WinNT 4.0 workstation. Any ideas? Thanks. Sebastian Baran, Poland sebab@info.com.pl
