[GNC] custom .chk file crashes GnuCash 3.4

Upon further investigation, it appears that having any custom check
file in the folder ~/.local/share/gnucash/checks will cause this crash,
even a working file copied from the GnuCash checks folder (with an
altered name and GUID).

I instead placed my custom file in my GNC_DATA_HOME folder (for me
/usr/local/share/gnucash/checks) and it appears to work again.

Maybe I wasn't supposed to have my custom file in USER_DATA_HOME?

Just my experiences,

Mike
