After stack trace analysis I found that the old card number was still in 
the gnucash file. Gnucash was crashing when it did not find the old 
number in the aqbanking files.

So I caused this problem by deleting the old account in the aqbanking 
wizard. I guessed wrong as to how change to the new card number. I guess 
I should added the new account and then removed the old one later.

Hand editing the gnucash file and changing the old for new put me back 
in business.

This should still be a bug. Gnucash should not crash when something does 
not line up with the aqbanking accounts.
