Instability in 1.6.5

Okay, one thing at a time.  I've been using the program cautiously so
I've avoided the frequent crashing.  But one thing I can't avoid is the
inability to re-use a file.

What I get is some kind of XML parsing problem, listed below.  The
memory references may change, but the facts remain the same.

** WARNING **: string_to_gint64 failed with input: 31

** CRITICAL **: file sixtp.c: line 515 (sixtp_sax_end_handler):

                 (data-from-children)
                 (frame-data 0x82cfa30))

Any thoughts?

  If anyone wants some debugging information I'll be happy to send it, but
  unless something obvious is going on I may have to go back to 1.4.  All
  I can guess is that it doesn't seem specific to the package I selected,
  but rather to my system (which isn't running anything mysterious or
  strange, by the way).
 
 hmm yeah you can try just running in a shell and sending me any relevant
 output....if that doesn't seem sufficient try this:
 
 gdb gnucash
 run
 
 and let it crash and send me output if any and I can try to help :)
