Bug #577	Trying just basic operations causes a segmentation fault

Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Just trying to perform simple operations causes mysqlcc to abort. I tried to login. As it was trying to connect: segmentation fault. I tried to add a user. Result: segmentation fault. The program is pretty much unusable. There is no core file generated so I don't have any way to provide you with more information.

How to repeat:
Start up program and start doing things.

This kind of behaviour is usually caused by library version conflicts or similar.

Core file generation doesn't depend on the program, but rather your 'ulimit -c' settings. Can you 
check that the -c setting of ulimit (maximum core file size) is >0 and try creating a core dump?

I have emailed the core file to "tfr@mysql.com".

One interesting thing to note is that when I start mysqlcc I get the following message displayed:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "0.0"

I checked my /etc/X11/XF86Config file and I do load glx there. The program comes up ok and looks ok. I just can't do much with it after that. How do I get rid of this error message?

Update: I fixed the "Xlib: extension GLX not loading" problem and the core dumps still occur.
