GnuCash crashes in XP when trying to use mysql

[Vladimir Bashkirtsev]

Hello,

I had a notebook running Windows XP and I was running GnuCash on it with 
XML file. Then we have switched over to mysql. Saving from GnuCash to 
mysql was not an issue. But when I have attempted to restart GnuCash it 
crashed when attempted to access mysql. I went back to our Linux desktop 
and ran the same version of GnuCash - no issue whatsoever. Back to 
Windows - crash again. Installed GnuCash on Vista and it was not a 
problem. So I singled out XP as a problem and forgot about it till 
better days. At some point I've got myself new notebook with fresh 
install XP. Applied all updates, installed GnuCash and faced the same 
crash again. So it appears that something in GnuCash does not work well 
with XP when mysql is used. Crash reported in M$ module and not GnuCash 
itself. I will not post all details right now hoping that it is known 
problem and someone have a quick fix. I could not find anything similar 
in mailing list. I would be happy to provide necessary information to 
investigate this crash. I do not consider it as major problem (given 
that it works on Vista and Linux) but somewhat inconvenience and perhaps 
it would be welcomed by wider community running XP.

Regards,
Vladimir
