Description:
MySQL Workbench continues to give some vague error about a routine not loading properly:

"External component has thrown an exception."

There's nothing to troubleshoot with the error and no other information is provided. I click the "Close" button and restart. Everything is usually about where I left it, but it is an inconvenience.

How to repeat:
To repreat, I have been just copying and pasting the same query into 3-5 new windows and, eventually, the exception will fire again. Another way to reproduce it is to execute more than three (3) queries at the the same time. These queries can be tiny, like returning ten (10) rows of data or less in each query.
