Description:
Anytime I try to use the regexp keyword in a query in the query editor, the entire MySQL Workbench crashes almost immediately.

How to repeat:
Steps:
1. Open MySQL Workbench
2. Open a connection to start querying
3. Create a new sql tab for executing queries
4. Type in the following:
select * from whatever where somecolumn regexp [84753]

You won't be able to do it. It will crash before you can.

Suggested fix:
Make it not crash.

Fixed as of the upcoming Workbench 6.0.x, and here's the changelog entry:

Executing a query that contained a regular expression would cause
MySQL Workbench to crash.

Thank you for the bug report.
