Gnucash 2.4.4 released

[John Layman]

I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that there is a trace file.  I
reinstalled 2.4.4 in order to get a trace.  Since I have been working with
the file in the meantime, I got somewhat different behavior today.  The
business books appeared to open normally, including some year-end reports I
am keeping open here at tax prep time.  I then clicked the accounts tab, at
which point the GnuCash window simply vanished.  You'll find the log file
attached.

Ok. Can you post the trace file from that crash ?
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Error_messages.2C_Trace_file

That may give us more information on why it crashed.
