ERROR: MySQL server has gone away

[DavidRock]

Hello,

I'm trying to restore a MySQL backup to a newly configured Windows 2K Server. The backup was created with mysqldump on a Windows 2K Server, running MySQL 4.0.20. I'm trying to restore the backup to the new box, which is running MySQL 4.1.7. But I keep getting "ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 1253: MySQL server has gone away". Line 1253 is a fairly large INPUT statement. The backup will restore to other servers without error. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

David

How large is large? Sounds like its timing out on the insert...
