     Because of a glitch in the mailing list, I never saw the reply
until I checked the archives.  Because of a glitch closer to home ;) I
wrote something silly above:  I meant to say that I saw the same result
after upgrading to 1.8.8 (the latest version for which I could find an
RPM for Red Hat 9).

     Yes, but I would rather get it running on my Linux system.

     I'll try this, even though it is just a single point upgrade, not
the 8 upgrades that my initial post suggested ... (download; tar xz;
./configure; make; make check; sudo make install;
/usr/local/bin/gnucash; check Help->About to make sure that I am using
the newly compiled version; Report->Tax Report; Export button, choose
TXF format, choose a file name for the export; click on the OK button ...)

     Same result:  instant crash.  One difference is that I started from
the command line, instead of the GNOME menu, so I can report an error
message.  See below.
