More clues:  if I reduce the size of the gnc window (i.e. not fullscreen 
as I usually have it) I can get a bit further and get this error message

Report error

An error occurred while running the report.

Report Budget Chart failed to generate html: Exception thrown while 
printing backtrace:
In procedure display-backtrace: Wrong type argument in position 1 
(expecting stack): #f

Out of memory

The system itself has plenty of free memory so it isn't the system that 
is running out.
