Unassigning because anyone can do this

Could this be the same as http://codereview.musicbrainz.org/r/1558/ ?

I doubt its the same issue. In fact, I restarted the DB server and the web servers did not need restarting for everything to get going again, so the issue fixed in r1558 may not even be an issue (for us).

With pecastro's branch (and a single commit from me), I ran the following the tests...

1. A request to /ws/2/release/f9be5cd4-f77d-48f2-8ced-4c5237f8dcc2 with the database running succeeds
2. The database is server is forced to stop
3. A request to /ws/2/release/f9be5cd4-f77d-48f2-8ced-4c5237f8dcc2 now produces the following log message:

   [error] Caught exception in MusicBrainz::Server::Controller::WS::2::Release->release "Failed query:
   	'SELECT release.id, release.gid, name.name, release.artist_credit AS artist_credit_id,
               release_group, release.status, release.packaging, date_year, date_month, date_day,
               release.country, release.comment, release.edits_pending, release.barcode,
               release.script, release.language, release.quality, release.last_updated FROM release JOIN release_name name ON release.name=name.id WHERE gid IN (?) '
   	(f9be5cd4-f77d-48f2-8ced-4c5237f8dcc2)
   DBI connect('dbname=musicbrainz','musicbrainz_user',...) failed: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

   	connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? at /home/ollie/perl5/lib/perl5/DBIx/Connector.pm line 32
     

4. Bringing the database server back up, the same request now succeeds again

So I think it solves this problem perfectly.

(assigning to Oliver as the ticket is marked as "In Beta Testing" and Oliver probably merged this into beta)
