xmysqladmin sheduled for removal

["Martin Bialasinski" <martin@internet-treff.uni-koeln.de>]

Hi all,

i have just increased the severity for a bug on xmysqladmin to grave,
and will ask for removal (from woody as well) before potato release. 

I can not rebuild the package in a way that it won't segfault on
operations. I can not fix this myself, so any help is *greatly*
appreciated. 

The report is at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/56/56495.html :

#9  0x401e77e2 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

The xmysqladmin source did not change in ages, the author has orphaned 
the programm (it is public domain), so the problem is obscure. I have
a report, that it does work on solaris.

I tried compiling with xforms 0.88 and xforms 0.89 to no avail. The
strange thing is, that I have a old xmysqladmin binary that doesn't
have this problem.
