Very strange.  It's like your sscanf isn't working for some reason.

Can you run the following through "gcc -o foo foo.c"

------------foo.c-----------------
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   const char *test_str = "100";
   long long int test_value;
   int num_read;

   if(sscanf(test_str, "%lld%n", &test_value, &num_read) < 1) {
      printf("sscanf failed\n");
   }
   else {
      printf("sscanf good\n");
   }
   return 0;
}
----------------------------------

Obviously without the ---'s.  And then run foo and see if you get a
good message.

Also what os?  What os version?  And where did you get your gnucash
rpm?

Thanks
Jim
