Could you check this crash dump info to see which application actually
crashed?

Since phpMyAdmin runs inside a webserver it would, as far as I know, not
generate this king of crash dialog.

Herman,

I will give you the same response I gave Michal.

Well phpMyAdmin is PHP script, which can not crash on itself. Either
your browser did crash or PHP. Both of them (even if triggered by
phpMyAdmin) are bugs in software which did really crash.

Herman,

You and Michal, are absolutely 100% correct...

How could I have missed this ? 

phpMyAdmin is only a script, even though we get used to calling them (web scripts) applications, they really are not. 

Even when you look at the Zend Framework structure for a project they always have an "application" folder containing the majority of the code for what should really be a "website script". 

When you referred to phpMyAdmin as a script, the lightbulb went off in my head and I immediately realized that I was referring to phpMyAdmin as an application, when in fact it is NOT...

I further realized that it was most likely Safari that was crashing, and when I went to the crash reporter logs, sure enough, Safari was the culprit, and I was the buffoon that missed it....

I humbly apologize for my brain burp...

What an obvious mistake on my part !

Sometimes the forest is so close you cannot see the giant Sequoia you are about to run into...

Thank you for bringing me back from the darkness into the light. I changed the default browser from Safari to Firefox, even though it pains me, as much as I like to support Apple, but its time for Firefox.

After switching to Firefox, I ran through the same routine several times : ( 1 ) deleting the database, ( 2 ) creating a new one, ( 3 ) importing the structure and data, and ( 4 ) selecting and modifying the records, and phphMyAdmin worked great, and Firefox did not blink !

Thanks very much for the rapid response...
