[GNC] Gnucash import QIF issue

[David Carlson]

When Gnucash crashes during an import the first thing to suspect is bad
data in the import file.  GnuCash is very picky about date format and will
crash if the date format in the import file doesn't match.   Next, it is
well known that Quicken data does not always import cleanly, so it may help
to start by importing a small chunk of data first into a disposable test
Gnucash data file.

Good luck.
