Well, debugging didn't exactly go according to plan. On PPC, the debug  
build works. In fact, substituting three libraries with debug versions  
(libgdk-quartz, libgtk-quartz, and libgobject) prevents the bug. So  
I've uploaded gnucash-ppc-2.2.9.dmg to sourceforge. I hope that it  
will get you going.

In the meantime, substituting debug versions on i386 (yes, i386 shows  
the same problem) still produces the crash, so I've got a little  
leverage to try and figure out what's really going on. A full debug  
build works fine, even on i386.

I do hate that kind of bug.
