crash on start with slib 3a4 (Debian) bug 373809

[Derek Atkins]

This question really belongs on gnucash-devel, not gnucash-user.
Let's please move this over there, as this is a development issue.

Thanks,

-derek

PS: I'm not sure exactly what gnucash is doing as this point in time;
someone would have to walk through the code and figure it out.
Someone mentioned on IRC that it might be defining reports..
