Thanks, John, I’ve tried and failed to reproduce the problem starting from the .gnucash file I’d saved from before the crash.
My Mac had been running for several days with a lot of open apps, and it was around this time the Mac OS shut itself down and rebooted a couple of times for no apparent reason. I had been making extensive use of an open-source genealogy program from the 1980s called LifeLines, which required extensive modification for 64-bit operation. I suppose it’s possible that it was responsible. I’ll upgrade to 5,8, and keep my eyes open for trouble.
