Transaction Report Repeatedly Crashes GNUCash 2.6.1

[Mark Phillips]

I have been using GC for several years and have not had any issues. I am
running GC 2.6.1 on Linux version 3.1.0-1-amd64 (Debian 3.1.8-2). However,
recently when I try to run a transaction report, GC crashes with a brief
message that says there was an error running the report (it flashes on the
screen, the the program goes away). I looked in the gnucash.trace file and
found -

The file /usr/share/gnucash/python/init.py does exist -
root at orca:/tmp# ls -alh /usr/share/gnucash/python/init.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.8K Feb 9 08:30 /usr/share/gnucash/python/init.py

This same report has worked for years, and not it crashes when I change the
date range. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Mark
