Version:	5.1.37	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The instance config wizard sets max_connections improperly when using Manual Setting.

How to repeat:
Start instance config wizard, choose detailed configuration, on the "number of concurrent connections" page choose Manual Setting and set the number to 50. The value written to my.ini is 100. Set it to 100, and the my.ini is set to 160.

Suggested fix:
The my.ini ought to reflect accurately the value set in the config wizard.

Of course, one can go back and manually edit the my.ini file until the bug is fixed.

Thank you for the bug report. We are closing this report now for two related reasons:

* MySQL Server 5.1 is an obsolete version of MySQL Server
* For newer MySQL Server versions, the config wizard is no longer available, and the MySQL Installer for Windows is the recommended way to install MySQL Server on Windows
