Problem with unspecified fatal error

[Russell Mercer]

Hi,

Call this a false alarm.  Something updated with my firewall at the same
time, which then decided that gnucash.exe was not to be trusted and was
sandboxing it.  Gnucash seems to be working fine now that I reminded the
firewall that gnucash is not the devil.
