[GNC] GNUCash Finance Quote Error with YahooWeb

[Mike Alexander]

This is in code that I added in V1.59 so it's probably my fault, but I 
can't see how it could happen.  It would imply that yahoo web returned a 
page with a price history table in it but there was no first price 
history table in the page. I.e., it had a table, but then it didn't have 
a first table.

Try running gnucash-cli on each of your symbols until you find the one 
that fails.  Then switch that one to some other quote method.  If you 
let me know which one failed I can try to figure out why.  Or, if you're 
up to applying a patch to finance-quote, I can send you a patch that 
should report the problem and keep going.
