It should try to connect to the UNIX domain socket first, but it sounds 
like that's failing. Or at least, that'd be my guess by the fact that it 
eventually succeeds. Are you using packaged MySQL libraries and a local 
MySQL server install, or vice versa? That would explain why UNIX domain 
socket connection apparently fails.
