Expense and Income Over Time Report problem

[Andrew Sackville-West]

Another report-guid problem, I'm guessing, that I may have already fixed...

I think that report produces different results based on how dense the
data is. By running the report over a longer time period it forces it
to try and link to sub-reports.  Those links were broken until r16869.

can you try updating and rebuilding?

also just for the sake of covering all bases, any terminal output when
this happens?

the lower account count allows the report to run without building
those links. You could confirm this by lowering the "Max bars" option
in the Display tab. That should trigger the crash. 

Note please that I can't reproduce this problem on my system because
no matter what I can't get mine to produce the links. I'm running on
debian sid and both the packaged version and svn fail to produce
links. So I'm shooting blind on this at the moment.
