active_record + threads

I'm having problems with active_record within threads

I have some code that works alone, but if I insert it into a thread with:

threads = for x in 1..5 do    threads << Thread.new do       team = Team.find(2)    end end

threads.each do |t|     t.join end

That code fails with:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:147:in `log': Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SELECT * FROM `teams` WHERE (`teams`.`id` = 2) (ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)   from simm.rb:311:in `join'   from simm.rb:311   from simm.rb:310:in `each'   from simm.rb:310

Seems the connection goes away inside threads, isn't it? It works without threads...
