No, but I don't know exactly how your syntax changes (if any) are affecting 
it.  I think you'd be better off jumping into the postmortem debugger and 
examining the values being passed to the connect function.  Once you're 
certain what the issue is, you may wish to change the connect() invocation 
to only pass relevant arguments.  Please send a patch once you have 
something that works.
