[GNC] "Inf" in stock data => cannot update prices

[John Ralls]

Fred,

It returned “Inf” for dividend yield, which isn’t a number GnuCash cares about, but perhaps the parser expected a number and complained. What error did you get? Did GnuCash crash?

FWIW, I tried just now and yahoo_json returned
