Are you seriously suggesting that I should remove all packages which are
not sourced from Debian Squeeze stable, if that is what your mean by a
"pure" Squeeze system?  If so you are asking me to remove my whole
desktop environment.

What evidence do you have that the problem lies is use of those
packages?  For at least three weeks all those what you call non-Debian
packages and Gnucash were all working together until 2013-01-03, the day
when both Gnucash and hardinfo would not load because of a segmentation
error.

The last day I was able to use Gnucash was 2013-01-01.  Consequently
what evidence there is strongly indicates that between those two dates
something was done on my computer which caused those segmentation
errors, and I need to find out what, with whatever help and support I
can garner.

You indicated that you were able to have Gnucash 2.4.10-2 from
squeeze-backports opening properly.  I was not however using that
version when the bug I reported occurred.  As I have already stated that
bug occurred when I was still using Gnucash 2.2.9-10 from Squeeze main
and inherited from lenny-backports.

It was only *after* I discovered the bug with version 2.2.9-10 that I
removed 2.2.9-10 and installed 2.4.10-2. When I tried to open that
version it returned the same segmentation error.

I had asked you whether you tried to replicate the problem I described
using 2.2.9-10.  You did not answer that question.

I had also mentioned that the version of Iceweasel I had installed,
17.0, crashed whenever I tried to download a file with it.  I cannot
understand why you claim that this version does not exist in Squeeze
when I clearly got it from squeeze-backports.  In any event I removed it
and instead installed version 10.0.11esr-1~bpo60+1.  With this version
the crash problem disappeared.
