Windows "Lost connection to MySQL server during query"

With previous versions of active record (prior to version 1.13.2), one
could simply comment out the “require ‘active_record/vendor/mysql411’”
line in mysql_adapter.rb to fix this problem when you weren’t (and/or
couldn’t) use the native mysql bindings.

However, this line no longer exists, and I’m stuck on getting any sort
of applicatino using plain-jane activerecord to do anything.

Has there been another/different workaround for this after Rails 1.0?

Stack trace is:
