[GNC] Gnu Cash stopped working 2 days ago.

[John Ralls]

David,

That's very strange, `string->number` is a guile function used only in the QIF importer. Please run 
  /Application/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --debug
and attach the resulting tracefile (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile). It may be quite long so don't try to paste in the contents.

Regards,
John Ralls
