[GNC] 5.5-1 crashing on macOS 14.3

[john]

Good that you've gotten it working. Maybe open an issue at https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues about YahooWeb.pm not setting the right error code when it fails to get a quote.

And please, in the future, start a new thread or at least change the subject when you digress like that. This one was supposed to be about a hard crash of GnuCash itself.

Regards,
John Ralls
