Remind me what version of GnuCash you're using and on what operating
system.
I gather that you have been using Finance-Quote to fetch currency
exchange rates from the net and this is what seems to be causing your
problem. I don't know what's going on, but there must be something
different between your setup and mine. I've been fetching currency
exchange rates daily for years and haven't had any problems like this.
