Package: GnuCash
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.2.2 1.8.4
os_details: Ximian, Inc.
Synopsis: GnuCash crashes when Scheduled Transaction Editor is started
Bugzilla-Product: GnuCash
Bugzilla-Component: Scheduled Transactions
Description:
Description of Problem:
GnuCash crashes when Scheduled Transaction Editor is started

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Click on actions
2. Click on Scheduled Transactions
3. Click on Edit Sched Trans

Actual Results:
/usr/bin/guile crashes, GnuCash exits

Expected Results:
To edit Sched Trans

How often does this happen?
95% of the time.  Once in a while I can edit one Trans before it
crashes.

Additional Information:
GnuCash 1.8.4, guile 1.3.4.  This has happened despite upgrading GnuCash
in the past few realeases.  Going to Guile 1.4 seems problematic since I
am trying to stick with RPMs and not try to compile all GnuCash
dependencies myself.  This happened with Gnome 1.4, too.

Appears to be a unique stack trace, according to the
simple-dup-finder.  Setting version->1.8.x, marking priority->high &
severity->critical (it's a crasher), adding bugsquad keyword, and
marking as new.

Comment 2 Josh Sled 2004-02-07 20:21:40 UTC

Does this still happen with 1.8.8?
Have you upgraded past guile 1.3.4?
Are you willing to privately give me a data file which causes this issue?

Comment 3 alan 2004-02-17 14:00:56 UTC

The issue still exists with Gnucash 1.8.8, Guile 1.6.4, and Gnome
2.4.1.  In fact, I've even moved from RedHat to Gentoo in the
meantime.  It's looking more and more like there's a problem with my
data file.  Which email address should I send it to?

Comment 4 Josh Sled 2004-02-27 02:22:07 UTC

Sorry for the delay; I missed the mail.

Please send to the mail address of the assigned-to field of this bug. :)

Comment 5 Josh Sled 2004-03-06 22:23:44 UTC

Intermittent editing problem ... smells like memory corruption.
