Thank you for interesting of this bug!

I've doing some experiments and here are the results:

This is not reproduced on clean installation of Ubuntu Karmic i386. The
package version is same, the steps are same, but works as expected. But,
on my Ubuntu Jaunty (x86_64) it is 100% reproducible. The differences
are the CPU and configuration file. I have found that my ODBC
configuration file is the source of this bug.

== part of /etc/odbcinst.ini file ==
[Text File]
Description = Text File ODBC driver
Driver      = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxt.so
Driver64  =
Setup      = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxtS.so
Setup64  =
UsageCount  = 1
CPTimeout   =
CPReuse     =
== end of part ==

When Setup64 parameter is missing, the ODBCConfig crushes as I have
described above. When Setup64 is equal to Setup parameter - all fine -
dialog appears.

So, with this configuration file ODBCConfig works as expected:

== part of /etc/odbcinst.ini file ==
[Text File]
Description = Text File ODBC driver
Driver      = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxt.so
Driver64  = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxt.so
Setup      = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxtS.so
Setup64  = /usr/lib/odbc/libodbctxtS.so
UsageCount  = 1
CPTimeout   =
CPReuse     =
== end of part ==

It will be great to fix the bug. IMHO, the program should show message
box with error message on invalid or incomplete parameters, but
shouldn't crash. Good luck with bugfixing and thank you again.
