[GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

[Greg Feneis]

Hi Frank,

I started this thread. I've been driving this thread since I started it.
What made you think I hijacked?

I was aware of bugzilla, but it's not an email list.  I had some concern
that the process had changed from when I last monitored this list many
months ago.  Previously an error like this gets discussed, and someone, a
developer or person who works more closely with the project, asks the
reporter to log it to bugzilla.

Kind regards,

Greg Feneis <http://www.linkedin.com/in/electromechanical>
