Bug #72619	MySQL Workbench frequent crashes

Description:
MySQL Workbench crashes frequently and repeatedly while executing queries.

I will connect to a remote MySQL server, load up a query tab, and attempt to execute a select query. One of two things will happen:

1) I'll receive one of several non-sensical error messages as the result.     

2) The program will completely crash.

Usually #1 leads directly into #2 although very frequently the program will just crash so quickly I don't even have time to read the query result.

Note: The server is stable and is unaffected by these issues. Other MySQL clients have no problems. The queries being run are completely valid, and there are no particular queries that cause the crash. It seems to be any random query, even if it's something as simple as "select * from table limit 1". The problem also seems to eventually go away on its own without any explanation. I'll have dozens of crashes in the morning like clockwork, and then at some point the crashes will just stop happening and I'll be able to use MySQL Workbench the remainder of the day without any crashes.

How to repeat:
1) Open MySQL workbench
2) Open connection to remote MySQL server
3) Execute any select query

Please attach the OSX crashlog file.

Ok I have uploaded the 3 most recent crash logs. I've got at least 20 more. Let me know if you want those as well.

I can confirm the same symptoms as the original reporter. I'm establishing remote connections to databases over SSH tunnels and have tried both tunnelling via the application or via SSH directly in a terminal and using a local port in workbench Local mySQL instances are querying fine. Every remote query no matter how big or small the dataset fails. I see spinners in the tab and in the status bar at the bottom of the app before they hang and the application crashes. I have yet to run into a situation where the application works fine for a time like the OP. Workbench is unusable because of this bug and I've unfortunately had to revert to the CLI
