Finding transactions that were entered automatically crashes GnuCash

  Within the Find dialog, I only filled in the Description field and
  used the description from any previously scheduled transaction for the
  value. For example, I tried SAFE, DirecTV, and Prudential.

  Seems logical. Probably two bugs: that the SX was found, and that
  gnucash crashed when clicking on the second account field.

  I might be using the wrong terminology here. With the double-entry
  system, each transaction has two entries (both of which are visible in
  the Find output). There is a debit from the "first account" and a
  credit to the "second account" (or was that vice-versa?). Anyway, if
  you still don't know what I mean, let me know and I'll send you an
  annotated screen shot.

  By the way, I upgraded to James' gnucash 1.7.6+cvs.2002.12.31-1
  version, and I was still able to reproduce it.

  Good luck, and thanks very, very much for this package. It has been
  wonderful not to have to run Windows just to run Quicken.
