GnuCash crashes when importing QIF file

[Derek Atkins]

Just looking at your QIF I can tell you what's wrong with it:

D16/1206

isn't a valid date.  Also:

T(4.00)

isn't a valid (negative) number.  The current regular expressions
don't handle this particular encoding of negativity.

Now, I admit that GnuCash shouldn't crash here and instead should
pop up an error, so I'll look into fixing that.  But at least you
know what needs to get fixed.
