Description:
One day all of sudden my workbench completely stopped working. At that time I was using version 5.0.27. So I installed latest version of 5.0.29 and same problem continued to happen.
The crash occurred during startup (while flash screen was displayed).
The error was:
"MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
Finally, I figured out that the crash occurred because the last time MySql saved "wb_state.xml" file. Whatever it did, caused it to crash MySql.
How to repeat:
Edit the file "wb_state.xml" located at:
"C:\Document and Settings\[Profile]\Application Data\MySQL\Workbench
And replace it's contents with:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data grt_format="2.0" document_type="MySQL Workbench Application State" version="1.0.0">
<value _ptr_="04551690" type="dict">

Suggested fix:
Delete wb_state.xml.
