Scheduled transaction crash - shows wrong version?

The other day, I installed gnucash 2.2.2 on my Mandriva Spring 2007.1
system. (I had to install from source, since Mandriva's rpm is still
back at version 2.0.5. I am also using KDE, and had used 2.0.5 for many
months with good results.) I performed some basic transaction testing,
with no problems.
Today, I tried to run my first Scheduled Transaction Since Last Run. It
crashed, and suggested that I install bug-buddy to report the results.
I did, and created a fake scheduled transaction to recreate the error.
When I get the "Since Last Run ..." dialog up, and click the OK button,
it crashes. It sent a bug-buddy report to bugzilla as #506011.
However, I am very confused that it reported my gnucash version as 2.0.5
in bugzilla. I have a hunch that this is a strong part of the reason
for the crash.
When I do Help About under gnucash, it correctly shows version 2.2.2.
The new version 2.2.2 is installed under /usr/local/bin . The old
version (which came with my Mandriva base install) version 2.0.5 is
under /etc/bin, but I renamed the files gnucash, gnucash-bin,
gnucash-env and gnucash-valgrind all to .old. There are no other
gnucash files in /usr/bin.
Help?
Thanks,
Jim
PS - Don't know if it is pertinent or not, but when I inspect the .log
files after the crash, I notice what appears to be some date strings of
1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000 -0500 (I am in U.S. EST), which I suspect is
the *nix "beginning of time" date.
