how to locate a bad spot in qif import

[Derek Atkins]

Unfortunately the verification step isn't done during the read
process but instead it's processed after-the-fact.  So that makes
it a bit harder to actually track this down to a specific line
number.

Now, having said that, gnucash shouldn't crash here.

Question: What versions of the following packages do you have
installed:

  guile
  g-wrap
  slib

Thanks,
