I'm just starting to play with the testcase now.

I would suspect that this bug is directly related to bad iteractions
with Apache::DBI.  I think I might even know exactly where, I just
need to come up with some workarounds.  Note that for
DBIC/DBIC::Loader under Catalyst, I don't believe you need Apache::DBI
for persistent connections.  I believe as long as the model instance
stays alive, the connection is persistent anyways without it.  I could
be wrong, but I don't think so.

It still needs to be addressed of course, because someone will want to
use Apache::DBI in the same mod_perl server as DBIC::Loader for
seperate apps or something, at which point this interaction would
occur.
