converting 3.4.9 forum to the latest V4 but coverter error

[bearback]

Hi

started looking at converting my 3.4.9 forum to the latest V4 but thought I would test first, didn't get very far as stuck on the database converter.

tried upping globel wait time and max allowed packet  in my.cnf but made no difference, cannot get the converter to complete. tried it from web based and command line.

the error I get is as follows, any ideas ??? or another way to convert them.

thanks

Running now. This can take a while to complete...
