[GNC] Trouble downloading OFX from Canadian Tire Bank

[R. Victor Klassen]

I just downloaded the monthly credit card statement as “Microsoft money” format which gave me a file with suffix ofx and header content that appears to be OFX.  Importing it causes a prompt and consistent crash.  I tried trimming out all transactions but one and it still crashes.  I’m assuming there is something in the header causing the problem.  

I tried switching to Quicken and got a qfx file with the identical header which I find suspicious. Attempting to open it was as fruitful as before.  

I don’t know whether it’s Gnucash or the file.  If the file I could likely write a preprocessor to fix it.  Is there documentation somewhere as to what is expected in the file?
