[GNC] Repeatable segmentation fault

[Michael Hendry]

PS I’ve saved before-and-after copies of the relevant gnucash files as BookA.gnucash and BookB.gnucash.

BookA performs without crashing with the adjusted date-range, BookB causes a corrupt report, including many irrelevant transactions.

The difference between BookA (before) and BookB (after) the changes I made today is in a 10-split transaction.

The Club (not the Charity) was to have had a Christmas Meal last week, and ten members had paid for it in advance. In the event, Covid caused this to be cancelled, and 10 members opted not to have a refund, but to transfer the price of the meal to the Charity account. I made a transfer for ten meals from the Club’s bank account to the Charity’s, and recorded this as a single transaction with a split to account for each member’s contribution, identifying each donor in the memo field of the split.

As a workaround, I expect I can split the single deposit from the Club’s bank account into the Charity’s as ten individual transactions, and experiment with various combined deposits into BookA.
