Unable to add catagory - then db overright

[taghosting]

I have a really strange problem When I add a catagory to the database OScommerce does this error

0 -

select c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.parent_id from categories c, categories_description cd where c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '1' and c.parent_id = '82' order by c.sort_order, cd.categories_name

[TEP STOP]

2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query

select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = '0899bc3a315400e0e7be6e5963530c29'

[TEP STOP]

 

It then deletes all reference to the catagories

 

I thought is was something to do with globals and long refs

so I have put in a php.ini file which reads

memory_limit=120M

register_globals = on

register_long_arrays = on

 

The system will add an item???

 

Any one help?
