GNUCash 3.0 crashes on load

[Joseph Vernice]

Thank you, John.  The perl install (Windows 10) solved the issue when 
opening XML format gnucash files, but mysql files still take 10 minutes 
to load AND now gnucash crashes after opening the SQL file.
I just re-installed 2.6.19 and will wait for a fix as there seems to be 
quite a few experiencing with the same issue.

I appreciate all of the work that the developers have put into gnucash.
