Crash report.

I can repeatedly crash GnuCash-2.5.3 (described as rev 5b288b5) on Mac OS X.

After opening GnuCash with my default data file I pull down the GnuCash menu and pick "About".

The application beachballs and crashes.

Attached are two crash reports generated with the steps above.

With --debug and --logto=stdout, "* 22:29:20 OTHER <gnc.core-utils> Could not locate file AUTHORS" is printed on console.

See Bug 708256. The crash itself is fixed in 2.5.6, though the inappropriate error message isn't.

Can confirm this bug no longer occurs in 2.5.6; unclear as to how it's related to the bug it duplicates, but at least it's fixed!
Comment 4 Greg P 2013-10-24 02:25:43 UTC 
This was duplicated against the wrong bug.
