[GNC] Fwd: Crash attempting to import transactions from CSV on W10

[A Harvey]

Hi,
I sent the forwarded message below about a dozen days ago but have received
no comments.  I know everyone is busy and it may take some time for anyone
to reply.  In the interim, I would like to ask two quick meta-questions if
I may:

1) Did I send this message to the wrong list and, if so, to where should I
send it?

2) Should I expect that the maintenance builds are likely to break parts of
Gnucash that previously worked?

Thanks,
-Arthur

Hi,
I'm getting a crash when I try to import transactions from a CSV and
am hoping someone can help.  Here are the gory details.

OS is Windows 10.
Gnucash version gnucash-4.1-2020-08-01-git-4.1-12-g12ab85fa6+   works fine.
All subsequent versions through ...08-15... show the following behavior:
Upon attempting to import transactions from a CSV, the import assistant
works correctly up to the page where it should show the results of the
import mapping and allow certain fields to be modified.  When I click on
NEXT to get to that page, the application crashes.

I ran a trace with --debug and --extra for both the working and non-working
versions and compared them.  Near the end of the miles of output, the
non-working version trace file contained the following:
.
