That looks odd.  Notice that the last successful save was 7 Feb 20:23.
Then it appears that GC was started at 8 Feb 00:03, a log file of 95k
bytes was created (which seems large) but the results of that work
were not saved.  I don't know, but it may be that the file
MDH.gnucash.tmp-ea6yhc is the result of the first half of the save
before it is compressed and the files renamed but I don't know.  How
you could get a log file that large in one minute I don't know.  I see
you have posted some of the contents and suggested they don't look
right.
