MySQL Administrator crashes KWin?

[Kelly Miller]

Because I'm taking PHP again at college, I've been looking into getting 
Apache, PHP and MySQL running on my Fedora install again.  It isn't hard, 
because it's not the first time I've done it, but I DO notice something 
strange...

When I try to run MySQL Administrator or MySQL Query Browser, and I select 
to "Save Connection", the resulting window causes KWin to crash and part of 
Kicker to disappear.  The error doesn't seem to be with Administrator or QB 
themselves (I don't see any errors from them), and I'm not sure what the 
problem might be...

Hi Kelly!

Truth is, I am at a new place and my Linux machines have not arrived yet.

Still, I do have google.

Searching "MySQL Administrator Kwin" yeilds references such as:

http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2007-03/msg04995.php

so, a search on "Linux sigsegv signal" yeilds the definition:

SIGSEGV	    11	     Core    Invalid memory reference

This is perhaps a bit presumptive but I think I would:

1. Update MySQL and Linux as much as possible.
2. Consider purchasing more memory (some overlap problems may not
occure if there is a lot of memory and more memory will probably make
you happier anyway).
3. Consider fileing a  bug report.  In this process you will probably
find your  bug already reported and if so you can follow the progress
on the bug.

Good Hunting!
