[Rd] [Win] Hangup RGui with RMySQL (PR#13453)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Did you build RMySQL yourself?  You need to for MySQL 5.1.  That has 
been reported on R-sig-db, and even on R-help, and looks like your 
mistake.

In any case, RMySQL is not part of R, so this was a misuse of R-bugs 
(please DO read the FAQ).  Now someone has to clean up after you ....
