WRT this: another developer has noted that they generally run GnuCash
like this, and would like the ability for the SX "since-last-run" dialog
to open at a configurable daily [or perhaps otherwise] time... so this
feature will make it way into the code at some point.

Some more context would be useful; if you have the datafile before ripping
the SX sections out [note that there's a <gnc:template-transaction /> group
that is SX related and can safely be removed as well], that'd be useful.
Exact error messages are always useful.  gdb backtraces are as well;
I recommend running gdb from emacs, as then it'll easily allow you to
see the source-file lines related.

Also, a general note for producing backtraces: the 'bt' output is good,
as well as going 'up' the stack a few frames, and performing an 'info
locals' and 'info globals' on the last few stack frames...

Indeed; you need [I believe] the alpha 1.4 [not 1.5] automake, and a very
recent libtool... I don't know the exact versions which are required... :(
