Yes the assembly window, ignore that (and yes if you close it to early, 
it does mind that sometimes)

Open view->debug->stack window (alt-ctrl-s)
That will show you where in the Lazarus code the exception happened.  
Problem: Likely it is in the fpc part, which will be useless numbers. Or 
even in the mysql library.

Anyway, unless you are willing to spent time on debugging the issue your 
self, and go into the depth of the Connector code, this will probably be 
of little help.
If you get the stack backtrace you can mail it and hope some one knows 
about...
