My QIF file crashes GnuCash. How can I find out what line(s) it doesn't like?

I'm pretty certain that this is bug 575778:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575778

It has already been fixed, but the fix has not been released into a stable
version of GnuCash yet. So you can look at the bug report to see how to
patch GnuCash yourself. Or, leave GnuCash alone and hand edit your QIF file
to make sure every security definition contains a "T" line.
