Michael,

 That file A was already saved and it was loading file B is indicated by the lock file being on file B. 

I think you got enough in your extract to show me what was going on when it crashed. It's loading everything from file_B.gcm (gnc_main_window_restore_all_windows) and gnc_plugin_page_register_ui_update got called on the run of the event loop that was meant to update the cursor.

Figuring out anything past that will take more work, so please open a bug with the crash report attached so that it doesn't get lost.

Regards,
