Actually the most important part is the first line of the stack trace which starts about 2 further on, but it’s most likely either https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796879 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796879> or https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796867 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796867>. You’ll find a link to a test bundle in each, please install and try it. If that doesn’t fix your crash please file a new bug report with the whole crash file attached.
