There was an error in SX creation, which causes it to intentionally
abort.

You should start gnucash with the argument `--nofile`, go to Edit >

processing at file-start.  Then, you can open your datafile and go into
the Scheduled Transaction list to see what the problem might be.

The error message given "common-commodity difference: old=CAD, new=CAD"
would lead one to believe that somehow you have two different "CAD"
commodities in the system, that while having the same name, have
different identities.  This would be very weird.

(FWIW, the 2.0 SX subsystem will handle this a bit better... it will try
much harder to not intentionally abort, anyways).
