Description:
MySQL Control Centre 0.9.3 Beta crashes under XP when I either test or connect a conection to a MySQL server, throwing up a "report error to MS" dialogue. However, this problem is clearly intermittent, because I just tried again, and it didn't crash! Maybe memory related?

How to repeat:
See above

Same problems, and I'm rather sure it's having to do with passwords...
I am sure the uname-pword combo is OK, because it works in the Dos-client mysql, but crashes in MySQlcc.

At the moment I have two connections, one called mysqlcctmp_1 that has user = root and password = kvastmo, that does not crash, but instead  I get the error message:
"[mysqlcctmp_1] ERROR 1249: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client"
and that I cannot even edit (XP crash). 

another one called root@localhost:3306 that has user = root and password = <empty>, that does [not suprisingly] says:
"[root@localhost:3306] ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: NO)"
If I  edit this THE FIRST time after starting Mysqlcc, it will open the edit dialog and let me change the password. After pressing APPLY and connecting,it  gets me the same error as above. 
However if i edit and then press TEST, I get the XP crash!
And if I try to EDIT a second time in the same session I also get the XP crash...

mysqlcc 0.9.3 crashes under xp when you try to start without the mysql service running in the background.

The crash of MySQLCC happens in conditions where isn't able to connect
with the server either by wrong user name/password or the mysqld server
isn't running. For the first case, delete the directory:

\Documents and Settings\your_profile_username\.mysqlcc\connections

start MySQLCC and edit the correct username/password for a new
connection set.

In the second case be aware that the server is running and able to receive
connections.
