Bug #6835	MySQL Administrator access violation when trying to exit

Description:
MySQL Administrator will not close. I get an access violation instead:

"Access violation at address 0058C3CC in module 'MySQLAdministrator.exe'. Read of address 00000008"

How to repeat:
Use a Windows 2003 box(not sure if this is required, but I bet it's probably the cause, knowing W2K3...)

1. Start MySQL Administator and connect to localhost as root
2. Close
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until it happens. I've had it not happen; Try going through some tabs, including the Health tabs particularly if you can't get it to happen.

Suggested fix:
It looks like someone's doing some pointer arithmetic with a NULL pointer? +8? I haven't looked at code. Right now, I'm killing the process through the task manager when I need it to go away.

Confirmed status (Jan 30th 2006) as follows:

Windows Server 2003 - Service Pack 1

MySQL Administrator (1.1.7) - no bug, problem not evident.

MySQL Query Browser (1.1.19) - bug STILL there, can't move window once app started. AV@address msg evident from initial app start - there always. App freezes on "X" / exit. Menu doesn't work at all, although 'content' - i.e. table browsing functionality seems ok. Also, window sliders (scrollbars) don't operate in traditional drag fashion (not in the schema browser, nor in the resultset browser).
