 On my linux box, it also has the dubious honor of being the only program I have ever seen that can lock X hard, with killing the X server being the only rescue (if you call that a rescue).  It can connect over networks, but on mine it always seems to hang after an hour or so, and you have to kill it and restart it.   

 

That's a new one. Any other symptoms? Can you get a backtrace from a coredump?

The good news is I could not reproduce it.  But when it happens again I'll know who to notify.

As I recall, the problem would occur in the query analyzer.  If there was highlighted text in the top window, and you highlighted a row in the results, and then clicked into the upper window while dragging the mouse, it would freeze the X server.  It has happened much much less often lately, but it did happen just two days ago, and it always involves a click-drag situation.
