Description:
------------
When a connection problem occurs during the connect method, then the DSN is added as user info to the error object.
In production environments this leads to a security breach since the database password is included and not masked.

Then its not me, but DB_DataObject. ;)
I found this problem on a live site we are hosting where the connection data was exposed to the client while the database was offline...
