Description:
When scheduled a daily backup of a couple of DB's the backup never occurs.

I'm running mysql-administrator from OS console logged as me (normal user). I configured the Target Directory to a directory with right permissions in my home and choosed a connection with all privileges over the DB's. After that, scheduled the backup, but when the time comes It never occurs.

Then I tried to execute in the OS console the following line (supposedly the same mysql-administrator use to schedule the cron job):

/usr/bin/mabackup -d /home/user/backups -c GlobalConn ProjectName

The file is created, but there's no data inside it. If I do strace to the last 2 lines it shows:

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Note that if you Start the Backup inmediately (pushing the button) It will complete the backup normally.

How to repeat:
Go to Backup:
 - Name a project
 - Choose two DB's with InnoDB tables for backup

In Advanced Options:
 - Choose "InnoDB Online Backup"
 - Select "Backup Selected Database Completely"
 - Select "Complete INSERTs" and "Comment"
 - Save Project

In Schedule Backup:
 - Select "Execute this Project Daily"
 - Type a near time to execute
 - Browse a Target Directory with sufficient privileges
 - Select a Connection Name that may do a backup for the DB's
 - Schedule the Backup

Suggested fix:
Dont' know.

Remember for the repeating steps to do the backup manually.

Tried to reproduce the bug with version 1.2.5rc (gui-tools-5.0r5) and nothing happened.

Now it's working ok. Thank you :)
