G2 crash/Split info

[Phil Longstaff]

I'm currently running SuSE 9.3 and have g2 built from source.  I have a very 
reproducible crash which I'm trying to find the cause of (there are a number 
of Bugzilla bugs which this is a duplicate of - 108347 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108347, 141287 (dup of 108347)).  
The crash is in XaccTransGetDate() with a transaction address of 0x01 (or 
other small non-zero values).  Note that by doing the same procedure, I've 
also seen the stack in 125480 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125480).

To reproduce, create a new file with a bank account and income account (I 
don't know if the types matter).  Open bank account and create about 20 
deposit transactions (I just created one, copied it, and pasted to get about 
20 transactions).  Set to transaction journal display.  Set the cursor on the 
first transaction.  Quickly press Tab-backspace-tab-backspace-... to remove 
all of the contents of the splits.

I set a breakpoint (using kdbg) in gnc_split_register_load() in the for loop 
which loops through the splits.  The breakpoint is hit when the register is 
first being loaded, before I start the tab-bs-tab-bs...  The splits seem to 
show garbage, yet the register displays correctly.  Everything was compiled 
with -g -O0.  Is this a known issue with splits?

My guess is that there needs to be better interlocking between updating splits 
and displaying them.
