I'm hitting roughly the same situation; I've got some samples from Q/99
that cause GnuCash to crash with a ridiculous complaint that it's getting
the wrong type of argument in main.scm, for function (gnc:ui-main).
Which is nonsense, as (gnc:ui-main) accepts no arguments...
I've done some "cleaning" of the code, which I'll be submitting
shortly. It is as successful at loading .QIFs as the older code, and:
a) Resolved some problems with splits
The code that skips splits if they're associated with investments
wasn't actually doing that; it was skipping 'em any time they
weren't on a bank account. Which crashes and burns if there's
a split on a credit card account...
b) Moved some large (or (eq? a 'b) (eq? a 'c) (eq? a 'd)) statements
to (member a '(b c d)), which is quicker and clearer
c) A few (let's) here and there to eliminate some multiple-calculations
of values
d) A couple 'o new HTML functions
e) Moved (gnc:support whatever) to the *top.* That prevents a situation
where two files reference each other, and then get into a "dependancy
loop."
f) Turned some (cond ((eq? a #\whatever) (do-something)) structures into
(case a ((#\whatever) (do-something))) which is a bit clearer and could
(someday) be optimized better by the Scheme system.
Not perfect, but a step closer...
