    I sent the message regarding the lockout to a local MySQL guru,
    here's his reply:
    
    "This is a documented feature I believe. It is in place to prevent
    brute-forcing of passwords (hence the limit of 1,100 and not some strange
    2^ number). I may be wrong. If it is this, then the freeze only occurs
    against the address doing the sending, all other locations can still
    connect correctly."
    
    Can anyone verify this?
