[GNC] gnucash 3.7.1 does not start on Macos 10.13.6

[John Ralls]

"Warning: Unwind-only `stack-overflow' exception; skipping pre-unwind handler." Indicates that Guile's stack has run out of space. That might be a locale problem, what happens if you set the computer language to Greek so that it matches your region settings?

Are there any crash reports (open /Applications/Utilities/Console and select User Reports in the sidebar and look in the list for reports beginning with Gnucash)?

Is anything written to the trace file (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile)?
