Gnucash FQ error

Huh!  This is interesting.  I've no idea why /dev/null fails,
nor why Date::Manip is failing.  But this is clearly an issue
in F::Q an the underlying perl support, and not a gnucash problem
per se.

Maybe someone else here can help you, or you might want to
try asking on the F::Q mailing list.

Sorry,
