[GNC] Crash when opening an account.

[John Ralls]

It’s crashing deep in Pango, the Gnome text-layout engine, so file a bug with Ubuntu. It will help them to have a stack trace with symbols and line numbers, see https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/reference/debugging/debug-symbol-packages/?_ga=2.167203133.2076231834.1730221360-1903323459.1728750211 for instructions on setting that up, then get a new stack trace for your bug report.

Regards,
John Ralls

It starts up normally and displays the list of accounts, but when I click on an account name to open it, gnucash crashes with a segmentation fault. I've tried running with --debug, but I can't see anything helpful in gnucash.trace.
