Description Darrell Burk 2004-05-23 09:34:51 UTC

I think it was a segmentation fault.

GnuCash version 1.8.9.
Large data file, almost 12MB, with about 9 years of data.

I pressed the Save button on the main window. I waited for a couple of seconds
and then I pressed the Exit button. It prompted me that my data had been
changed, did I want to save it. I was surprised, because I had just saved, but I
said yes. The crash occurred very shortly after that. I now suspect that the
first save had not finished by the time I pressed the Exit button.

The backtrace:
Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/guile'

Hmm, I thought I had fixed this a while ago, but clearly not (or it was
re-introduced along the way).  Yes, it's a race condition with very large data
files -- if you "save" twice it gets very unhappy.
