Description:
If you specify the incorrect SSH port for the server when reverse-engineering a model, the error message that comes back is incorrect/misleading: "Error: Could not connect to SSH tunnel: ERROR not all arguments converted during string formatting".

How to repeat:
 - Start MySQL workbench
 - Create a new model
 - CTRL+R or Database|Reverse Engineer
 - Specify TCP/IP over SSH as the connection type
 - Specify all parameters correctly, except port
 - Proceed
 - Incorrect/misleading error message will be generated

Suggested fix:
The error should be words to the effect that the SSH connection failed with that hostname/port combination.

It shouldn't be words to the effect that connecting to the SSH tunnel failed, since successful initial SSH connectivity precludes tunnel creation.

Same is true for incorrect SSH username.

Closing old bug, SSH specific errors are reported adequately in the latest version.
