Gnucash fails to start after recent update

[Robert Fewell]

Hi guy's,

I have just updated my git tree to the latest updates and was able to
compile the recent changes but the program will not run, it stops at
startup with a date exception with the following in gdb...

Not sure if this is just my system or maybe I have updated in the middle of
a series of updates.
