Jed,

Looks like the GnuCash thread is blocked waiting for input, which is what one would expect. It’s hard to be completely sure that it’s the read we think it is since we can’t see the Scheme level calls, only the C calls that they produce.

I’m a bit troubled by the Perl trace because it seems to be from 3 minutes after the end of the gnucash.trace. Surely it’s from a second start attempt. I’m not surprised that it was brief. Did it occur near the beginning or the end of the “Finance::Quote” period?

Regards,
John Ralls
