Thanks for the report. It looks like you've left a report open and it's trying to display an image that's choking the png library. You can prevent the crash by removing the control file from ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/books. It will have the name of your file with .gcm attached. For example if your file is named MyAccounts.gnucash, the control file will be MyAccounts.gnucash.gcm. It's a text, ini-style file, so you can also examine it to see the particulars of the open reports and perhaps figure out what's causing the crash; that information might be helpful for me to reproduce the crash.
