On trying to import a qif file I get: scm_unprotect_object called on unprotected object [1]+ Aborted (core dumped) gnucash In fact, if I just bring up the dialog and close it with the Cancel button the same thing happens. This is different from the crashes I've read about in the archives of this list. Any idea what's happening? (I'm running 1.4.9, just now compiled.) Thanks, Peter
