Hi Leslie

Try this:

Load the "shares" file, then turn off the Since-Last-run-dialog option "Run on 
file open".  Can't remember where that is in 1.8.x, but in 2.2.x it is 
Edit->Preferences->[Scheduled Transactions] tab.

Then try opening the banking file.

Looks like you have made some changes to an account which is affected by a SX 
causing the crash.  You'll have to investigate that further, if you can get 
back into your data!

HTH,
