#9 — Every call failing with "Error Value: connection_string" (getClassByClassNumber)

Since around 4pm on Saturday (9/12), all 26 calls to getClassByClassNumber have failed. This is causing every course page creation to fail. The calls return a full HTML page response (similar to bugs #2 and #5). The key portion of the HTML is below. From the command line (wget), I get an Error 500.

This happens for every class_num I try, real (34654/0640) or fake (12345/0640).
