A few days ago, we moved servers (shared hosting) and since then, there's been a few sporadic MySQL errors, when checking the database errors log file see below:

================================================== ===
I guess this is happening when the RSS News feed is being called from the CMS widget.
Along with the server move, we also moved from MySQL Version 4.1.22 to Version 5.0.90-community if that makes any difference.

It's not happening all the time, just every couple of days it seems...
Any ideas please, or is this a host issue?
