Hmm, I was unaware that Guppi actually supported 12 segments.

Uh, this is wrong.  There's no reason you should have had to restore
from backup...

Does it crash when you run the report?  Or when you load gnucash?
I'm still confused.

Most likely the log replay is to fault here.  Did you actually "rm"
your original data file or just rename it out of the way.  If you
rm'ed it then you're screwed -- I would go back to the last backup and
then re-enter the transaction by hand.  If, however, you were
intelligent and just renamed the original file, I'd just rename it
back and use that.
