Exporting GnuCash to QSF cause program to crash

I found that the crash no longer occurs if you edit the chart-export.glade
file and delete the calendar's tooltip (just delete the entire line
containing the words "Future dates are not supported"). So I think it is
this bug:http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539248

I'll be making a patch for trunk.
