[GNC] mac fails to open gnucash file

[D.]

I'm not using a Mac anymore, but you should know that double clicking a file in Finder will not open that file in GnuCash but will open the last opened file instead. It is a Known Mac Thing. 

You might want to try using File -> Open to see whether your File really won't open...

Upgraded to 4.9.  It still fails to open.   Also when closing GC it 
crashes.  I don't know if the list will allow it, but I'll attach the 
crash report.
