Ah, look...  I've got a few dozen of those files.  I'll follow up on the
report crashes later (when I can actually get that far).  For now,
here's the contents of the trace file from when I try to start GnuCash:

*  OTHER <> file corba-object.c: line 76 (ORBit_register_objref):
assertion failed: (obj->object_key != NULL)

Not much there, and meaningless to me.  Hope it's helpful!

Looking through the other files, I've got about 18 identical to that
one, from all the times I tried to get it running.  But the series
starts with this one, which seems to have been created the first time it
failed to start:

*  OTHER <> file corba-object.c: line 29 (g_CORBA_Object_hash):
assertion failed: (obj->object_key != NULL)

About an hour before that one, I found the following, which may (or may
not) be from the last successful run:
(no idea what c:/entwicklung is or where that name came from.  no such
directory exists or has ever existed on my computer.)
