segmentation fault: additional info

[Mark Johnson]

My fault, I forgot to mention the version of gnucash.  It is 1.8.10.
My version of guile is 1.6.4.  I believe that I installed slib version 
2d6.  However, I failed to make a package for it or even to write the 
version in my notes.  I do have version 2d6 and 3a1 downloaded.  I am 
running Slackware version 10.0, patched with security patches.  The 
linux kernel version is 2.6.9.

Here is the output from gdb when I run the report:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

I'm not sure whether that last line is more significant than the extreme 
recursion.  I suspect this is all a clue.

I filed Bug #165571 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165571> 
to request additional information in the warnings.  I wonder:  should I 
file one against the log replay since it seems to be responsible for 
losing the currency of the transaction?  Or is this known?
