Do you say that even when you renamed that file you still get this 
crash? The crash output is in fact identical to your first message, so 
the file under books/ obviously didn't change anything here.

Could it be that this crash comes from some report renamings, so that 
some old reports do not exist in the gnucash-2 system? The error in the 
stack at stack#14, from report.scm:310, has a #f where it should have 
the option object from the report. It seems to me that the report itself 
couldn't be found, so the option object from it couldn't be found as well.

I forgot in which file the names of the open reports were saved, but 
I'll check later this weekend.

Anyone else an idea here?

I don't think we have one yet.

Thanks for providing this feedback.
