There are two open CSV crashers, https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798799 and https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798830. The first is about the CSV having fewer fields
in the first line than in the second and while GnuCash shouldn't crash in that case IMO it should
reject the file as ill-formed. The second involves entries having a '/' character.
If your problem file matches neither of those please file a new bug report. Be sure to attach
the trace file[1] and if possible a stack trace[2].
