Description:
Whenever I try to connect to my host's MySQL server, and the server is not reachable (MySQL Control Center is set to auto-connect), MySQL Control Center will crash with the following error message:

"mysqlcc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created."

I have yet to find the error log mentioned.  I'm pretty sure that this error is only caused by the SQL server being unreachable, because it never happens otherwise.

How to repeat:
Attempt to connect to a non-responding MySQL server with MySQL Control Center under Windows 2000.

Suggested fix:
I'm not that good of a programmer, so I don't know.

Corrected version information.

There is a known (and reported) bug with MySQLCC 0.9.3 where it will crash if it cannot connect.  You can remove the connections directory (Documents and Settings\username\.mysqlcc\connections) or edit the settings from there if necessary.

Thank you.

Ok...I had searched through the database first, but it didn't seem like anyone was reporting this particular situation with MySQLCC.

Sorry for the repeat.
