Exceeded Max user Connections

Today, all of my sites went down. I was trying to track down what causes it and it was this:

An exception occurred: User 'xarcell' has exceeded the 'max_user_connections' resource (current value: 4294967295) in /home/xarcell/public_html/xarchology.com/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php on line 333

I have no idea what that means, or how it happened, but I do know that when I exceed "max_user_connections", my host will shut me down because I'm on a shared server and I'm draining all the resources.

I find this funny because it is a dead site and has been the beta release, which is what it is running on I think and the only user is me. I installed it there for testing purposes. My only guess is that a bot did something?

Can anyone share some light on this?
 
They were being a bit too agressive for my tastes - yeah, I wanted them to be indexed, but still had work to do turning the server and didn't want my users complaining...so I turned them down to maybe one page per 1.2 seconds.Screen Shot 2012-04-10 at 12.54.08 PM.webp
