Comment 2 for bug 1046966

Daniel:

I don't think it's the same error. bug 1046483 is about a connection being killed, while this one is about mysql and mysqladmin failing due to 'too many connections' errors that may happen if Threads_connected is too close (or over) max_connections.

I've linked a POC branch I've just made where collect checks the Threads_connected and max_connections, and if there are less than 10 available connections, does not send captures to the background. It worked on my manual simple tests (Just pt-stalk --no-stalk --iterations 1 , with enough connections, and with just 1 available), but again, it's just a POC :)
