David, You need to create the log.conf file manually first on your Mac 
to enable tracing.  Please see this thread for details 
(https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-September/108759.html).

Are you using the default sqlite as the GC database?  The error message 
of "procedure value out of range" you posted indicates this might be a 
database problem.  If you are on a Mac, your can just run /sqlite3 
your_db.gnucash /to see if this would spit out any errors.  Once you are 
in the sqlite shell, run the /analyze/ command to check the table/index 
consistency.

Good luck!  -- JC
