Crash on file parsing with 1.6.2

[Jesse Becker]

So I've happily been using gnucash for some time, and have slowly built up
enough data so that switching systems would be painful, and the problems
start...(isn't that always the case?)

Basically, it looks to my untrained eye like the data file I've been writing
became corrupted somehow.

I'm running Gnucash version 1.6.2 (the rpm build) on a Mandrake 8 laptop.  I
have just started playing with having gnucash fetch quotes from online, and
so I ran the 'update-finance-quote' script.  It ran to completion,
installing and updating a ton of stuff.  Afterwards, fetching quotes still
did not work, so I shutdown gnucash, and restarted it.

Gnucash now refuses to read the data file I've been using.

If I start gnucash without telling it to open a file, it works fine.  If I
give it one of the files I've recently created, it does not work.  Creating
a brand new (very small) datafile, shutting gnucash down, and re-opening the
file does work.

I've tried loading the file from the "Open..." menu option, and via the
'--load FILE' command line option.  Neither work.

The following is printed to STDOUT and STDERR when I try to open the file
from the "Open.." menu:

Addittionally, there is a core dump as well.  Here's the backtrace (from
gnome-bug):

When I try to load the file from the command line via '--load', things are
much less spectacular:

  [jbecker@deadlands finance]$ gnucash --load ./Jesse_Becker.gnucash
  ERROR: In expression <?xml:
  ERROR: Unbound variable: <?xml
  [jbecker@deadlands finance]$

The only other thing that I can think of to note is that this crash leaves
.LCK (presumably the lock files) and .LNK files hanging about.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Jesse Becker
