Hi, I'm using MySql 4.0.18 on Linux (SuSE 8.2) and I'm getting this error

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

a few seconds after launching the following command

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/root/hc.txt' into table af_afiliados ;

soon after that I repeat the command

mysql> load data local infile "/root/hc.txt" into table af_afiliados;

and the error seems to be slightly different

ERROR 2006: MySQL server has gone away No connection. Trying to reconnect... Connection id: 6 Current database: hrrg

ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Could ERROR 2013 be generated by some inconsistency in the data stored in "/root/hc.txt" file ? (this is a ASCII file,Which has been working perfectly till now, nonetheless there had been some changes into its data)

Any hint would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks Mauricio
