Gnucash hangs!

[Martin Hill]

James,

I had the same problem. The developers has already found and squashed the 
bug, but until an update is available, try this: edit your data file and 
search for </cmdty:id> tags which follow a newline and remove the newline.

So for example if you see this:

  <cmdty:id>AIS506
</cmdty:id>

change it to

 <cmdty:id>AIS506</cmdty:id>

Your file should load after you fix all of these. Saving later also won't 
write the tags incorrectly.

Hope this helps,

Martin
