Have you tried downgrading to a 5.0 version? It might be worth it to see
if there is some weird problem with their new driver.

That indicates to me that you are using multiple connections to the
database, and perhaps one of them gets damaged but the others are okay.
Do you see any other JDBC-related exceptions on your logs, or any faults
detected on the MySQL-server-side?

Are you using a DataSourceRealm? If so, are you sharing that DataSource
with your actual application, or do you have a separate one for
authentication?

Any other problems /not/ related to authentication?

Do you have a validationQuery set for your JDBC/JNDI <Resource>? If so,
what is it? Also, do you have the debugging options for leaked
connections turned on?

I suspect that your connection pool is slowly failing, one connection at
a time. When you run out of useful connections, your app is dead.

I would check with MySQL as well. I've found that my reported bugs never
get fixed, but sometimes Tonci will at least get back to you ;)
