[GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair"

[Kalpesh Patel]

4.11 is the current official release so it won't hurt to go to that version
instead of 4.8. 

I use compressed XML version of file running on Windows 11 and frankly
speaking I never had to revert back to previous version of data file for
being corrupt. This history goes back to since 3.x version days. 
 
I do reconcile my accounts, including brokerage, on 6 to 7 month cycles and
have found to match transactions downloaded so corruption is least of
worries with GNC.

Many thanks to all who have offered help and advice.  The following evidence
strongly suggests a memory management problem to me:
1. I was able to perform "Check & Repair" on all accounts and subaccounts by
dividing them up into smaller groups, saving, exiting and restarting GC in
between.
2. If I tried to "Check & Repair" too much at once, GUI response would slow
dramatically and GC would forget how to do things it had already done
successful in the same session, e.g. saving, which, when attempted, produced
messages like:
>>
* 22:08:34  WARN <gnc.gui> [gnc_builder_connect_full_func()] ggaff: could
not find signal handler 'gnc_ui_file_access_response_cb'.
<<
I now have what I think is a working and fully checked file in GC 3.11 for
Windows and will now try upgrading it to 4.8 in Ubuntu Studio.
My file does include Trading accounts, so Kalpesh's suspicions may be right.
However, this raises the question of whether I need a newer version than 4.8
in Ubuntu Studio.
