Sqlalchemy + mysql stubs

I am inserting strings with random data into the mysql database. After you insert a few lines, greens hang on the connection. Statistical print green continues to work

This happens with any number of workers (including one), both with mysql-connect drivers and mysqldb. sqlite works fine.

This has no effect (since I understand that it has already been fixed in the new gevent)

    from gevent import monkey
    monkey.patch_all()

    from mysql.connector.connection import MySQLConnection
    MySQLConnection.get_characterset_info = MySQLConnection.get_charset
patch()

        except Exception as e:
            print i, 'EXCEPTION: ', e
            t.rollback()

def flood(victim, i):
    a, z, l = ord('a'), ord('z')+1, 100
    while True:
        victim.add(''.join(chr(randrange(a, z)) for _ in xrange(l)), i)
        sleep(0)

def main(n_threads, cs):
    stats = Stats()
    victim = Victim(cs, stats)
    threads = [ spawn(flood, victim, i) for i in xrange(n_threads) ]
    threads.append(spawn(stats.run))
    [t.join() for t in threads]

#main(2, 'mysql://root:root@localhost/junk')
main(1, 'mysql+mysqlconnector://root:root@localhost/junk')

What's happening?

Checked, error persists without gevent, maybe something with server configuration
