Please file a bug. Transaction logs are not useful. Trace files (https//wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile are sometimes useful and stack traces (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/stack_trace are the most useful for diagnosing crashes.

If you need to get this up-and-running ASAP then reinstall gnucash-3.3.
