Thanks.

With that command line, I checked all the securities I have configured
for online quotes retrieval, one by one.
And I finally found one that is causing an error:

  Can't call method "rows" on an undefined value at
  /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Finance/Quote/LeRevenu.pm line 105,
  <> line 1.

So, from the Security Editor, I've unchecked the 'Get online quote' for
that security, and now all other quotes are retrieved again, without
any more errors.

That was about it, but it was not Yahoo at fault, but LeRevenu (Which I
forgot I had it configured as a source).

Something changed at LeRevenu.fr that is now triggering a bug in
LeRevenu.pm.
