[wp-hackers] WP and Plugins DB connection conflicts

I've been seeing some odd database connection conflicts between
various plugin combinations and have narrowed the issue down to the
fact that WP does not force a new database link to be created when it
initiates its connection in wp-db.php. this is a problem if a plugin
creates it's own db connection with the same user credentials as
those used by WP and then closes the connection or produces errors on
the link.
Currently:
$this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword);
Propose:
$this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, true);
The bool at the end of the connection will force a new link to be
created instead of piggybacking on an existing connection.
Thoughts?
