Description:
When you connect to remote MySql 4 server (our version is 4.0.15) and click to Server connections or Health, program open DOS window with error. You should normally continue with your work, but you cannot close the DOS window.
The error message is:
** (process:7840): CRITICAL **: file source\myx_util_functions.c: line 219: assertion 'iconv_name' failed

How to repeat:

Thank you for the report.

Do you connect using root or some unpriveleged account?

I use root account.

Fresh install of rc3 on laptop with localized WinXP Pro SP2 (Croatian) was giving AV trying to connect to MySQL server 5.0BK on remote WinXP Pro SP2 host. I (just) copied older Administrator version onto laptop, made first connection and deleted old version. Everything started to work... Laptop has bit-defender firewall. I tested with and without it, same error on connect. Firewall makes no difference.

 - client: HP laptop, fresh install
   servers: (Win-localhost) 4.1.3, (Win) 4.1.22BK and 5.0.24BK, (Suse) 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 BK - all latest versions
   hosts: WinXP Pro SP2, Suse 10.0

 - client: WinXP Pro SP2, older versions of GUI tools exists
   servers: (Win-localhost) 4.1.22BK and 5.0.24BK, (Suse) 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 BK - all latest versions, (Win) 4.1.3
   hosts: WinXP Pro SP2, Suse 10.0

So I had minor troubles connecting from localized WinXP client which went away for reason unknown to me...
