Frank,

There is still a problem with Gnucash on your computer because it should
not be crashing.

It may be somehow related to the account named Trading that GnuCash
created.  Normally, GnuCash will only create that account for users that
know that they want to use a special feature that is there for investors to
use to help with capital gains calculations, and it normally isn't used by
most people.

Actually, I am not sure how to safely delete that account (and prevent it
from coming back) if you do not want it, because it contains transfers to
and from your security accounts.  Perhaps a developer or another user can
advise us about that.   That is still not the cause of the crash, the
developers may need more details about that.

Good luck.

David C
