G'day everyone, It's good to be back on the mailing list. I thought everyone had just gone really quiet for a while. Unfortunately this means I'm a little behind in what's going on. I've just tried the current CVS source, as well as the files tagged as gnucash-1-3-8, and it see

When I imported *everything* from Quicken to gnucash, I noticed the balances were different in gnucash from in Quicken, even after fixing the "Opening Balance" transaction. Hoping to nail a gnucash bug, I binary-searched throug about 8 years of transaction data, and found that it was not Gnucash,

Hi, I am using gnucash 1.3.8. Whenever I try to import a QIF file, I get a segfault. I have narrowed it down to occuring on line 620 of dialog-qif-import.c. I do not know GTK or Scheme so I fear I may be of little help with debugging. However, I looked at it with gdb and this is what I saw:
