  Forget to say: The whole is running on KDE 3.1.1, Linux has an 2.4.20-4GB-Athlon-Kernel.

  Me again: MySQLServer has version MySQL 4.0.18-standard (Client has version MySQL Client Version 50000, Protocol 10)

  Last but not least: Backup of the tables in matter works when using mysqlhotcopy from a shell.

Description: When I start MySQLAdministrator as root on my local host, choose a backup profile and start the the backup ("Start backup"), the whole application crashes after closing the backup file chooser (an empty backup file is created yet at the file system position I have chosen). The progress dialog is shown for some seconds saying "preparing". How to repeat: 1. Start MySQLAdministrator as root on your local host. 2. Connect to the MySQLServer instance running on your local host. 3. Choose a formerly created backup profile. Mine contained one schema with five tables. All settings are the default ones. 4. Press "Start Backup". 5. Choose a backup file location (e.g. "/root/backup/MySQLBackup-29-03-2004.sql"). 6. The backup will start showing a progress dialog saying "Preparing". After some seconds the whole application crashes. An empty backup file is created. Suggested fix: Creation of a resonable backup file. Application mustn't crash.
