Works for me, with either the mysql or mysqli drivers.

PEAR 1.3.3.1
DB 1.6.8
PHP 5.0.2

There is a bug in the PHP mysqli extension that causes it to fail if
there's no socket file in the connect string.  This patch fixes it:

if (PG(sql_safe_mode)){
} else {


The patch is in the current CVS, but I don't think it's in any
released version.  5.0.3, perhaps.
