JDBC connection failure

[Michael Clayton]

One Machine A, Mysql 5.1.33 via tcp/ip, I have two Java classes that both connect to the same local database.

Program A connects without a problem. Program B cannot connect and gets the stacktrace below.

On Machine B, Mysql 5.0.27 via tcp/ip, Both programs connect without any problems.

In both cases I am using driver 5.1.6.jar.
I tried using 5.1.7, and 5.1.12, but no use.

Any ideas?
