Issue while simultaneously accessing mysql db using clsql on a hunchentoot server

Hi,

I am writing a small webapp with mysql backend and hunchentoot as a framework.
using (connect `("host" "dbname" "username" "password")
:database-type :mysql) to connect , works well if only 1 person tries
to connect to the system. But with any simultaneous access , the db
connection dies. I am getting "Error 2006 / MySQL server has gone
away".

Can any one can point me to some example on how to solve this and have
simultaneous access?
