Thank you for taking the time to report a problem.

You are using MySQL 4.1.22 which is quiet old.
Also you are using MySQL GUI tools for 5.0.

Look here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
"This is the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle for 5.0."

Of course the GUI tools for 5.0 won't work correct for 4.1. 

Please download a new version from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/

Our newest version at the moment is MySQL 5.0.51.

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions, please change the version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".  Again, thank you for your continued support of MySQL.
