Since you are about to launch the next version 4.2, can you make sure that when an upgrade happens, it looks at the database type lines in the config file, and doesn't overwrite them? everytime I upgrade, I have to manually change from mysqli to mysql. (mysqli gives me errors, most likely due to my hosting company).
Does your php installation have the mysqli extension? I don't see how it'd change unless you have it. If you have it but it doesn't work, perhaps you MySQL 3.x? I'd like to drop support for 3.x since it doesn't support all the features already, so I have to tell people what they can't do.

Hostgator. Could be. but is there still a way the upgrade takes into consideration what I have in the config file for those lines? no worries if not, just would be nice.
I can't and shouldn't support broken hosting environments. If hostgator provides an explanation, let me know and I'll reconsider my assumption that they're broken.

You have mysqli and MySQL 5, so your hosting account must be broken somehow, talk to your host.
