Same here PDO is just a dead end if you NEED to manage multiple databases ;)
I've killed PDO altogether on the production machines so I do wonder if that
'error' is part of the problem? Should be isolated extension, but it would not
be unusual for someone to have introduced a problem since a lot of the time
things just don't get tested. That was one of the problems with the 'blob' bug
in early PHP5.2 releases.
