Dear Maintainer,

using MySQL workbench to connect to a MySQL server via an SSH tunnel no longer works.
This used to work fine when I last tried it, which is many months ago.

When I try to establish a connection via MySQL workbench, I get the following error:

  Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111 "Connection refused")

However, when I try to do the same manually (first "ssh $HOST -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306", then
locally "mysql -h 127.0.0.1"), things work just fine.  In fact, after creating the
SSH tunnel manually, if I then tell the workbench to connect directly to a MySQL
server running on my machine (i.e., using the port that is tunneled to the server),
things also work fine.

Kind regards,
Ralf
