GnuCash hang/infinite loop in calendar/date

I seem to have put GnuCash into a loop, as in right now.

I had clicked on the date of a transaction and then clicked on the
arrow to pop up the calendar.  After seeing what day of the week the
transaction was on, I unthinkingly used the down-arrow key to move to
the next transaction---well, that's what I was trying to do.  I did
not close the pop-up calendar and that seems to have been a big
mistake; the calendar is flashing (*very* rapidly on a 2.4 GHz Xeon)
and I'm not getting anywhere even after waiting a few minutes.  I had
figured since I hit and held the down-arrow, the repeat keys would
have a small buffer to run through, but by now it should have cleared.

I'm going to have to kill it and reenter my recent data, but here is
what I can get out of gdb---it's not much; this is the stock RH9 RPM
with apparently no debuggin symbols, at least in the part where I'm
stuck:

<hangs here again>

At this point, it is well and truly hung.  My ctl-C won't interrupt
gdb and I'm really going to have to kill it.  Ctl-Z does suspend gdb,
but I can't kill it at all.  Killing gdb only kills gdb and leaves
gnucash frozen and unresponsive even to kill -9!

Hope this helps,

roland
