I uninstalled g-wrap 0.9.5 and installed 0.9.12. gnucash-1.4.7, 1.4.8, and 1.5.2 all worked OK. I then recompiled 1.5.2
and it still worked. Perhaps the problem is in 1.5.3? In any event, the above patch should fix the bug, no matter where it
is.

Richard, I haven't confirmed it, but I think the problem is that the
handling of null const-strings has changed in the latest g-wrap.
I think a NULL const string on the C side is converted to scheme #f.
