[GNC] Currency Database empty

[Keith Bellairs]

John,

xml backend.

not running with -debug but trace has some of these:
* 10:50:08  WARN <qof.engine> [gnc_dmy2time64_internal()] Date computation
error from Y-M-D 201-12-11: Year is out of valid range: 1400..9999
* 10:56:13  CRIT <gnc.backend.xml> xmlNodePtr time64_to_dom_tree(const char
*, const time64): assertion 'time != INT64_MAX' failed
* 10:56:13  CRIT <gnc.backend.xml> xmlNodePtr time64_to_dom_tree(const char
*, const time64): assertion 'time != INT64_MAX' failed

But the date error does not seem to be coming from the Price Database tool.
(Restarted gnc, went to price tool, tired to add currency exchange, failed
- but no CRIT trace. The WARN appeared when gnc was started and before
using price tool.)
