Incredible Error found (BUG)

Hi,
two days after the Version 1.0.6 of MySQL-Sync was published, I've found a fatal error inside the source.
In file dbase.c on line 19

if(MySQL_Connections == 0)

has to be changed to

if(*MySQL_Connections == 0)

This error of coding effects only Win-Binaries. It doesn't matter to Linux. For all who don't know much about hacking. The published source means: If the Pointer-Adress is 0. But it should be: If the Pointer-Value at the Adress is 0.
If you'd like to work with Version 1.0.6 you should change and recompile it.
In V1.0.7 the error will be eleminated, but only therefor a release is stupid.
