[GNC] Finance quote not working

[Paras Desai]

Thanks Jon,

My reply to your questions, Hope this will throw some light to my issue,


1. while i try to get quote, blank screen splashes (perhaps command 
prompt) second splash screen stays for a while and goes off. No error 
message is displayed.

2. As suggested by you, I located the Trace file and checked. It says : 
Price retrieval failed: Failed to parse result returned by Finance::Quote.

You reported that updating your book worked until 26 July, so something must have changed around that day. Do you remember changing anything, like updating GnuCash or Finance::Quote, that might offer a clue?
