title: What To Do About MySQL Aborted Connection Errors (Error Reading Communication Packets)
body: <p>I'm using a Delphi application to connect to MySQL. Although my application works correctly, in the MySQL logs, I see a lot of aborted connections with the bracketed error message being either "got an error reading communication packets" or "got timeout reading communication packets."</p>
  
  <p>I'm seeing dozens of these, although the application seems to be functioning correctly. What do these mean, and more importantly, what do I do about them?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> This coincided with me enabling error logging on the MySQL server. Hmm....</p>
