After much uninstalling and re-installing, all to no avail, I stumbled 
upon the problem. When I said I had turned off price retrieval for all 
my securities, I missed one ... when I turned off price retrieval for 
security XRB with price source "canada" everything else works. At the 
command line:

C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump canada xrb
row 0 out of range (-1)
 at C:/Perl/site/lib/Finance/Quote/FinanceCanada.pm line 81

So I guess that price source "canada" has changed its format. I don't 
think I have any other options for Canadian stock quotes.

It sure would have been nice if GC could have told me which price 
retrieval was failing.

Thanks for your help,
