[GNC] 5.13 seems to have some issues

[John Ralls]

Patrick,

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.  The easy way is to use “reply all” or if your mail client supports it, “reply list”.

Sorry, the stack trace instructions are at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace. I left off the “wiki” directory in my previous reply.

I can’t access your files on Google Drive because you seem not to have marked them as accessible to anyone with the link. They’re both probably short enough that you can just paste them into a reply.

Regards,
John Ralls
