I've added a simple patch to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771451 along with instructions for applying it. It's for the OFX DTD, shipped with LibOFX; the processing that causes the failure is in LibOFX so there's not anything we can do in GnuCash code to work around the problem. Instructions for applying the patch are in the bug report.

We'll add the patch to the builds for the Windows and Mac packages in the next release, but users of other builds (Linux in particular, but also MacPorts, Homebrew, etc.) will have to do the patch themselves.

Regards,
John Ralls
