Michal,

You 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...
