Hey,

I cannot run the db:create command. However it doesn’t give any errors  
if I run it with the -S tag. What does the -S mean? … it seems to skip  
since no database is created.

if I run it without the -S I get a segmentation fault error [BUG] here :  
at mysql\_adapter.rb line 203.

Thanks,  
Gabi
