In my case: 

gnucash
gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version ""1.11"
Backtrace:
In unknown file:
   ?: 0* [qif-file:parse-fields #]
In /usr/share/gnucash/scm/qif-import/qif-file.scm:
 505: 1* (let* (# # # #) (and # # # ...) (cond # #))

 684: 8*  [null? ...
 684: 9*   [cdr #f]

/usr/share/gnucash/scm/qif-import/qif-file.scm:684:24: In procedure cdr in 
expression (cdr formats):
/usr/share/gnucash/scm/qif-import/qif-file.scm:684:24: Wrong type argument in 
position 1: #f

I have kept the .QIF file if you need to see it.
