What does *that* means ? You should be a bit more descriptive...

require(MindeReaderAlpha).

Hmmmm ... Isn't the "breakage" just a loooong wait with no answer ? Or
maybe a timeout ?

In which case I'd try to put a semicolon (";")  at the end of the SQL
query, thus making it syntactically valid SQL...
