[galaxy-dev] 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' error

My recent Galaxy update has broken the feature that solves the 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' error. I've set the variable database_engine_option_pool_recycle = 14400 to fix this. It used to work, but now periodically loading the page gives a gray warning page, which after reloading the URL goes to Galaxy. Is there something different that we need to do now?
