Or, maybe:
d. The bug is coincidental to all this.

IIRC, there is an unexplained, low-frequency crash that does exhibit
when tabbing off of a description.  As it's intermittent and hard to
reproduce, it's hard to debug. :/


W.r.t. Gentoo, yes ... unstable can be unstable.  Running ~x86 (or
whatever) system-wide is a bad idea, though (limited) use
of /etc/portage/package.keyword can be useful.  After participating in
some of the package-untanglement, I can suggest that gnucash-2.0.4-r1,
g-wrap-1.9.6-r1, slib-3.1.1 and guile-1.6.7 are a working combination;
as well, it seems, slib-3.1.1-r1 and guile-1.8.1-r1 play nicely
together.  Though, most of these versions are still masked.  In any
case, a stable 2.0.4 should hit the tree soon enough.
