Workgroup Manager Crashing on connecting to server

Recently I've had an issue with Workgroup Manager crashing when it connects to the Xserver:

Error of type eMemoryAllocError (-14901) on line 401 of /SourceCache/WorkgroupManager/WorkgroupManager-361.3.1/DirNodeRefController.m

Please not I'm using:

• Workgroup Manager Version 10.6.3 (361.3.1)
• OS X 10.6.8
• OS X Server 10.4.11

Doing a copy and paste in google brings up on 1 result which happens to be on Apple Discussions.  The discussion is exactly what I was looking for. Here it is.

Basically they describe the problem after a security update (not sure whether it was on the client or server). Luckily there is a work-around by ManuelSF, but people are not really liking it. Here it is:

1. open workgroup manager
2. click cancel at the login screen
3. go to server in the menu bar and select view directories
4. you should see your directory
5. click on the lock in the upper left-hand corner to unlock and edit the directory.

Works better then it did before surprisingly!
