Careful; we don't want GnuCash to be like the typical MSFT software that
crashes if you "don't look at it right." We *do* want it to be reasonably
robust.
But I do agree that it's more useful to give a problem report that
provides information that might lead towards solving the problem than
merely to report that "it crashed."
