I already read parts of `man free`.  It did not explain to me what on
my system was using the RAM reported as being `used`.

The numbers add up.  I just cannot tell what is using the `used`
memory.  It is not being used (as far as I can tell) by any of the
programs listed by `top`.

No errors.

My apologies, but I do not know how to reliably reproduce the freeze.
(It can take 10 to 60 minutes of working with GnuCash until a freeze
occurs.)  I do not have the time at present to investigate further.  I
reported this issue primarily to create a record in case other people
encounter the same issue in the future.

I expect to either switch to Ubuntu 19.10, or to install a newer
version of GnuCash via flatpack.  If thereafter I again encounter the
freeze, I will provide additional updates.

Thanks again for all your assistance.  I do appreciate it.
