[GNC] Gnucash 5.5 Windows - included Net Worth Linechart report now crashes the UI

[John Ralls]

I've gotten it to crash for me in my VM. The stack trace says that it's crashing several dozen frames into the javascript engine. Unfortunately the MSYS build defaults to stripping the symbols so the trace doesn't tell me anything more. I'm rebuilding WebKitGtk with stripping turned off, but that will take a while... like a couple of days.

Regards,
John Ralls
