Hmmm, this sounds possibly related to my problem with an SX not being
entered.  In my case, it is not a split from my paycheck (I actually do
those into a "savings" account which I later reconcile from my
statements since 401k purchases are out-of-sync with payroll
deductions).  Instead, it is a straight withdrawal from my checking
account into a fund account.

With the "notify me" button checked, GnuCash crashes every time; with it
unchecked, it doesn't crash, but it doesn't enter the transaction either.
