Description:
I am just dont know if really is a bug, or its only problems with my config file, but i can't correct this problem. When I try to get information about the table with DESCRIBE the service close with not any error message, just break. This happend too with MySQLAdministrator and with MySQLAdmin when it is fetching columns.

Sorry for my english, is not perfect.

How to repeat:
I dont have idea. But the conditions are this:
its happends with any kind of tables.
The tables are empty.
Iam using php 4, apache 2.
My machine is Celeron.
WinXP with not servicepack 2.
the command is only "DESCRIBE table1;"

The file my.ini is the default of mysqladmin:
#This File was made using the WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 Tool
#05/04/2005 03:06:44 p.m.

#Uncomment or Add only the keys that you know how works.
#Read the MySQL Manual for instructions

[mysqld]
basedir=C:/MySQL
#bind-address=10.30.198.241
datadir=C:/MySQL/data
#language=C:/MySQL/share/spanish
#slow query log#=
#tmpdir#=
#port=3306
#set-variable=key_buffer=16M
#Start without grant tables. This gives all users FULL ACCESS to all tables!
#skip-grant-tables

[WinMySQLadmin]
Server=C:/MySQL/bin/mysqld-nt.exe

Suggested fix:
There is no problem with adox (ADOX.Catalog) when i try get information about the tables, it return all the columns with not problem, so maybe the ODBC Driver is fine.
