Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

The “.crash” is a plain text file, so no transformation is necessary. The only thing to do is to set the file type to “text/plain” when you upload it to bugzilla so that it’s readable in the browser.

There’s a little more data you can collect: You can run GnuCash from the command line with the --debug and --extra options and crash it again--assuming that there’s something about the data that caused the crash rather than some random problem in Gtk--and attach the resulting trace file to the bug, pasting in any output in the Terminal window as well.
