Definitely.  I remember running into something like this before.  
I searched the list archives, but couldn't find it -- reminds me 
to make the subject meaningful :)

If I remember correctly, this was a problem that could be traced 
to the DBD::mysql module.  Specifically, the DBD::mysql::db::_login 
call (lines 104-160 of DBD/mysql.pm).  But it's been at least half 
a year since then, so take this as a rough guide as to where you 
might want to look.
