Found ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE errors on updating _SingletonTbl when using a number for the id (which is a CHAR field which should be able to accept whatevs right?).  So, I'm ignoring the error.  I think this has to do with the SQL_MODE.  I just updated to MySql 5.6.19 on my mac and it has a sql mode of STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
