Description:
When I tried to create a new connection with the "dbconnection editor" the application quits unexpectedly. I tried to connect thru the "reverse engineer" dialog and got the same result. Apparently this only happens when it is actually connecting to the database, not just before, when it validates the user and password. I can connect to the said database from the console, thru a webapp using php and using MySQL Administrator.

How to repeat:
- I am using linux 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64.
- Downdloaded and installed MySQL Workbench on Fedora 10.x86_64 using 'yum --nogpgcheck install mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.12-1fc10.x86_64.rpm'. Installation was succesful. 
- Opened the application and tried to create a new connection with the "dbconnection editor". It first throws a "cannot find /usr/lib/mysql-workbench/mysqlcppconn.so".
- I looked for it and found it in /usr/lib64/mysql-workbench so I made a symbolic link with "ln -s /usr/lib64/mysql-workbench /usr/lib/mysql-workbench".
- Opened the application again and tried to create a new connection with the "dbconnection editor". This time, I mistyped the password and it warned me with "Test connect failed. Access denied... blah, blah..".
- Retyped the password correctly and the application quit unexpectedly.

I couldn't repeat on Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit, maybe specific OS issue.

This is a duplicate of bug #44652.
