[GNC] GC4.10 on Win10 Crashing

Hello,

I'm running GC4.10 on Win10, and I've been running into numerous crashes 
in the last few days while trying to catch up on my finances. 
Ironically, many of these crashes happen when I attempt to save my file.

My usual workflow when catching up is to open the pdf bank statement and 
work through it to catch any omitted transactions, which I then enter 
into GC. After entering the transactions, I will then perform a 
reconcile for the account. Upon completing the reconciliation, I save my 
file. Over the last two days, GnuCash has crashed several times when I 
Ctrl-S at this point to save the file. (When I say crashed, I mean 
GnuCash simply disappears from the task bar, and a restart gives the 
usual file lock errors). This is, to say the least, frustrating.

I have checked the trace files for the days in question, but there is 
nothing that seemingly refers to the crash. The trace mostly contains 
thousands of iterations of:

* 13:32:51  WARN <qof> [gnc_numeric_to_decimal()] Rounding required when 
'never round' specified.

As for what I might be doing to cause the crashes, I really can't say, 
but I wonder if there is a conflict that happens when I click "Finish" 
in the reconciliation and then click Ctrl-S shortly after. I have 
noticed on my machine that there is a noticeable delay in the program 
between when I finish the reconciliation and when the program returns 
control to my input. (There's actually noticeable delays in *everything* 
I do in GnuCash on my machine, which is another issue that may or may 
not be related to my machine). I wonder if the software crashes because 
Ctrl-S interrupts the reconcile closing process, and leaves something 
corrupted.

Suggestions are welcome.

David T.
