[GNC] Gnucash 3.3 suddenly crashing on Ubuntu

[Colin Law]

Thanks Geert, as usual you have hit the nail smack on the head.  I had
some files left lying around from an old build.  I guess why it should
suddenly pick up the wrong one is a mystery that may never be solved.
I don't have any recollection of doing anything that would have
changed the PATH or anything like that.

Thanks again

Colin
