I'm running only from the installed version. So no, I don't run anything in-
place or in any way not in the intended way of starting gnucash.

Even when I add some (display "HERE") to the installed business-utils.scm file 
I actually see this display during start-up at the console, right when the 
modules are being loaded. Gnucash then proceeds to load the XML data file 
(i.e.if the lock file exists, I get the question "file locked" where I answer 
"load anyway") and only during or right after loading the data file, this 
crash occurs. So the crash seems to occur in some sort of a different scheme 
context, compared to where the content of business-utils.scm hasn't been 
exported to, even though its content has already been executed before.

Ok, thanks a lot.
