Question about importing QIF with 1.7.8

[Morrison J. Chang]

I recently installed RedHat 8.0 and Gnucash 1.7.8 and I was trying
to import a QIF file from Quicken 2000 which holds a single stock and
when the import druid gets to 'Set a date format for this QIF file' I get
a blank date selection (no entries).

I get the error
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcombo.c: line 849 (gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings):
assertion 'strings != NULL' failed.

I've tried bank files (checking/savings) with success.
Any ideas.

Also I thought I subscribed to the list, but I'm not getting anything. I'll 
check
the archives for responses. Thanks.
