Good job.

Not enough, I'm afraid. As I expected, there aren't any symbols in the build, so we can't tell exactly *where* the crash is occurring.

I tried to replicate the problem without success.

If you haven't quit out of the gdb session (or if you have restart it), set a breakpoint on g_log and run gnucash again:
(gdb) b g_log
(gdb) run

When it stops on the breakpoint (which should be the error message from gtk_entry_set_text), take another backtrace. My hope is that will indicate the  root cause of the problem, where the null string in the error is coming from.

Regards,
John Ralls
