As a followup to this, I managed to get around the problem. I believe it
was being cause by a corrupted SX. I went the the SX editor and checked
all my SX's for the automatic creation flag being turned on. In my case
only one of them had this, however one SX consistantly crashed GnuCash
whenever I tried to open it with the following error;

** ERROR **: file gnc-dense-cal.c: line 1413 (gnc_dense_cal_mark):
assertion failed: (doc < dcal->numMarks)
aborting...
Aborted

I deleted this SX and now the since last run works fine. (Oh I turned
the single automatic creation flagged SX off)
