note 80133 added to ref.mssql

Setup:

Apache 2.26 webserver with PHP 5.2.5
Using MSSQL on a remote server.

I can connect and make MSSQL/PHP queries to the MSSQL database on the remote server - but after some time, APACHE/PHP comes back with 'Could Not Connect To Database' errors.  Restarting Apache fixes the problem for a time, and then it starts again.

I am using the default settings in php.ini.  Is there anything I need to change to avoid losing connectivity?  BTW - this isn't a physical connectivity issue - connectivity between the two is not a problem.

Thanks

Ed
