Ima::DBI calls $dbh->ping and checks $dbh->{Active} before it uses the $dbh.

If the connection is dead one of those should return false.

It's always worked beautifully for me on every database I tried it on; what
DBIx::Class does is extremely similar and I haven't had any problems with
that either - including our Oracle-based users, a number of whom came from
CDBI and didn't have this problem there either.

So I'm definitely voting for "not Class::DBI's fault".
