It doesn't crash AFAICT, but many parts are hit by this. I tried to find
all those parts. Here is what I found:

* frmMain::CheckAlive
* frmMain::RestoreEnvironment
* frmMain::ConnectToServer
* frmQuery::GetServerColour
* frmGrantWizard::AddObjects
* slCluster
* dlgRepCluster
* dlgSelectConnection::Go

They all need a fix. Not a really hard one, it seems pretty obvious for
each one of them. But I'm afraid of the ones I didn't find yet.

Will work on this, and the combobox.
