Description:
WB doesn't appear to provide any edit/validation of numeric fields, allowing users to enter rubbish such as "wfasdf", and resulting in my.ini files which include:

myisam_max_sort_file_size = wfasdfM

This causes the server to be unable to start.

How to repeat:
Enter non-numeric characters in numeric fields.

Suggested fix:
Validate numeric fields.
