J.D. Grimes on "[Plugin: WP DB Driver] PHP Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet"

I received these errors upon updating to 3.6-RC1-24757:

[22-Jul-2013 15:10:13 UTC] PHP Warning:  Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=14707 in ...wp-content/plugins/wp-db-driver/drivers/pdo_mysql.php on line 109

[22-Jul-2013 15:10:13 UTC] WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query SELECT autoload FROM wptest209_options WHERE option_name = '_site_transient_update_core' made by do_core_upgrade, wp_update_core, Core_Upgrader->upgrade, update_core, delete_site_transient, delete_site_option, delete_option, wpdb_drivers->query, wpdb_drivers->print_error

I have not tried to track it down and see why it was caused yet.
