gnucash-user Digest, Vol 40, Issue 30

[David Zeigler]

Hi,

Any ideas on what might be causing these segfaults?  I realize it may
not be a gnucash problem after seeing the backtrace, but any pointers
on how I might prevent these crashes (or where else I should ask)
would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
David
