Its from the graphing code.  I've tweaked the code to say which plugin
couldn't be found.

Try this.  Start gnucash running normally.  Once the main window has
come up, open a terminal window and do the following:

  $ ps ax | grep gnucash
  <should get two lines here. one for guile and one for grep>
  $ gdb
  (gdb) attach <guile pid from above>
  <gnucash is halted at this point>
  <lots of output>
  (gdb) cont
  <gnucash will continue running>

Now continue working with gnucash and see if you can reproduce the
crash.  If you do, gdb should takeover control and you will get a new
gdb prompt.

  (gdb) backtrace
  <lots of output. mail this to gnucash-devel>
  (gdb) cont
  <gnucash will crash>

Hope this helps.
