HeidiSQL crashes when altering character set of table

Hi there,

I'm trying to change the character set of my tables from the default latin1 to utf8_general. I've managed to set the default on the table, and then when I call the query below to actually convert the table contents I get a crash.

the query: alter table misc_hw_info convert to character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci;

the result: 246 rows affected, and then:

This is due to the half ready bind parameters feature. Please refer to issue #1325, and post the callstack there as a comment.

That is a very long post going back to 2009, could you point me to a specific post perhaps?

The last 5 or 7 comments are relevant only. I guess you don't need to post anything, but you could starr the issue, so you get a notification whenever there is activity on that issue.
