Is this related to a MySql ODBC driver?

[Jeff]

I'm still a bit new to running a server, using mysql, using databases in
general, and writing code to access those databases.

I have a web application written in visual basic.net that was running fine a
few weeks ago but is now drawing periodic errors. ...but the application is
still being developed, so there were changes there, other changes on the
server, etc all at the same time. I'm hoping that someone can give me a hint
at whether what is going on is a hardware issue, issue with the application,
issue with IIS6, or issue with Mysql. As near as I can tell, it may be a bug
with the mysql odbc driver version 3.15.12. Since the error does not occur
regularly - I can't at all re-produce it, so it is difficult to track down
for me. It always occurs in the same place, however, when the code attempts
to open a connection to mysql via odbc.

The message I get in the application is below and there are corresonding and
more detailed error messages in the server's event log that I've also
listed. I thought that this might be a hardware issue, so I pulled one of
two sticks of ram and the problem didn't return for about a week but it has
now returned.

"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication
that other memory is corrupt."

w3wp.exe apparently refers to a process in IIS, but the errors are also
mentioning odbc - and I don't regularly read server errors, so I'm not sure
exactly what to make of this. I'm about ready to change the driver to the
newest 3.15.15, but was hoping that someone might be able to tell me more
definitely what might be occurring here. Could this be something other than
the mysql driver?

Try
Dim MyCommand As New OdbcCommand(sb.ToString, MyConn)
MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
MyConn.Open() ' drawing the
bad memory error here also.
Dim dr As OdbcDataReader =
MyCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SingleRow)
Using (dr)

Oops, that was supposed to be 3.51.12
