Description:
------------
Defining an invalid DB account to connect to the Mail Queue displays a bad fatal error in place of "unable to connect..."

Expected result:
----------------
I am expecting an error such as "Cannot connect to..." or "Invalid username/password for DB"

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: nextid() in c:\php\pear\Mail\Queue\Container\db.php on line 189

$id = $this->db->nextId($this->sequence);

$this->db is of type DB_Error

Same problem here on Debian 3.1 with php 5.0.4.
if given a wrong username for db, the DB_Error Object should be returned or an PEAR_Error Object. At this time the Constructor call returns TRUE even if the database connection failed what makes it pretty hard to trackback the error to his source.

Same result on FreeBSD 4.11. ;) Even though this bug report helped me track the error.
