[GNC] 3.4 upgraded, crashes when paying invoice

[Mike stagl]

I had a similar problem with 3.4 on Debian 9.

Turns out I had written a custom check profile for printing
checks (*.chk file) that I had placed in the wrong folder.  3.2 didn't
mind that location.  In 3.4, GnuCash crashed when the print dialog box
opened.  I moved the custom file from 

$HOME/.local/share/gnucash/checks/

to 

/usr/local/share/gnucash/checks/

(Your folders may vary based on your install options)

The latter location is where you will find the default check printing
profiles that ship with GnuCash.  Once I placed my file in there, all
was well again.

Hope this helps!  Otherwise, 3.2 was very stable for me.  I would
consider rolling back to the last working version.
