Description:
Upon trying to open a connection to a server, the Administrator app continued the attempt forever. "Cancel" button had no effect until the server was itself shutdown, at which point Administrator regained control of itself.

Setup:
   MySql Administrator 1.1.9 on Windows XP SP2
   MySql Server 5.0.21-pro-nt running on same machine.

I narrowed it down to the server having the "shared-memory" option set in its "my.ini" file. When I removed that option, Administrator was able to connect.

However, If I set "shared-memory-base-name" to something other than the default of "MYSQL", Administrator is again able to connect. 

How to repeat:
Try to connect to a Windows MySql server in which "shared-memory" is on and using the default share name of "MYSQL".

I cannot reproduce this problem. I set

[client]
protocol=memory
shared-memory-base-name=MySQL

[mysqld]
shared-memory
shared-memory-base-name=MySQL

in my.ini, but MA is not able to connect via memory anyway (it always uses TCP/IP). But I checked that it does not hang at least when this option is set, but it does not.
