I had a second crash of the same type immediately afterward. The commonality was as follows, as near as I can determine: I created 4 new liability account types, then proceeded to enter debits in 2 of them. (I can never remember which column is debit or credit; I mean the left-hand column, resulting in negative balances for the accounts in question, since they started off with zero balances.) In each case, the transfer account was an expense account--I'm trying to do some accounting tricks so that my tax returns show up in 2006 instead of 2007. I then adjusted a (very large) closing entry to account for the tax returns. This seems to have been what set the crash up. My next action was to go to my checking account register and enter "Dir-<TAB>" (I was attempting to record a payroll direct deposit), which triggered the crash. Upon restarting GNUCash the second time, I was able to record the direct deposit with no problems. (I neglected to save data before the first crash, so had to go through all the steps again, which resulted in the same crash as before...) In any case, GNUCash seems to be fine now, so *shrug*...
