I have the same issue with WP 2.01 when posting.
This is the error message:
WordPress database error: [Lost connection to MySQL server during query]
INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES (’59’,’_pingme’,’1′)
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /ainostriamici/wp-includes/wp-db.php:102) in /ainostriamici/wp-admin/post.php on line 59
Anyway the post will be published, but even if I have disabled comments, they will appear the same.
I have again to edit the post a 2°time in order to effectively disable comments in the post.
