I do not experience this issue, although I am using 1.5.3 and 1.5.4.
Are you sure it is not an application issue? Perhaps you are not
clearing the database connection string (maybe accidentally
appending), or perhaps your particular connection components are
internally misbehaving.

What exact development environment are you using and what connectivity
method from that environment are you using?
