how to locate a bad spot in qif import

[Tommy Trussell]

When the .qif import crashes, is there a pointer containing the
offending line number in the .qif file?

I'm trying to import a Quicken Mac .qif to GnuCash, and on some
particular part, possibly in a stock transaction, the import dies.

I'd like to avoid the bug so I can proceed, and I am not averse to
manually tweaking the .qif file to make the import work, but I can't
tell for sure where the problem is. From the crash message, I see
"11/9/00" and several stock-related things happened on that date but I
don't know which one. I tried exporting transactions for that date
only but the import didn't crash. I have also tried exporting and
importing different subsets of the data and I'll need to make a chart
to keep track of what I've tried...

This is GnuCash 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 6.10. Importing from Mac Quicken 2002 Deluxe.
