 Plugins that use the mysql_select_db() function without a link identifier
 can break wp-db.php as wp-db.php assumes that the table will not change
 during the running of the script.

 The simple fix is to reselect the WP table using mysql_select_db(DB_NAME)
 before running @mysql_query on line 608 of wp-db.php
