Postdating causes crashes?

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

First, please be sure to CC gnucash-user on all replies so that
other users have access to answers.  "reply-to-all" is recommended.

Second, this has nothing to do with invoice dates, but rather is
a known bug with "saved reports".  You need to delete your saved reports
file and then start again.  Look in ~/.gnucash and delete the
obviously-named file.  Then be sure not to save reports again :)
