The taxonomy_menu module only creates menus from predefined
vocabularies. By this property, all the links are internal.

Well, apparently the server is less than supreme. ;-)

If your database is hosted on another server than your webserver and the
connection is a bit flaky (as the above message seems to suggest) then
it might be worthwhile to change mysql_connect to mysql_pconnect in the
function db_connect in the file database.mysql.inc.
