In case anyone gets stuck with a similar problem in the future remember to try running the report from the command line.

e.g.

gnucash-cli.exe --report run --name="Budget Chart" --output-file=aBudgetChart.html Wm.gnc3

Reports / Budget / Budget Chart reliably crashes gnc on my main book.  On an almost empty test book it works.

It displays the chart and I have time to get the options on the screen before it crashes.  My guess is it is running out of something.

Would other people who have budgets try running the Budget Chart to see if it works for them?

Thanks

Normally gnc consumes < 300MB of memory and very little CPU. When trying to run the Budget Chart memory goes over 1,100MB and CPU is constantly over 20% until it crashes or I terminate it. If I can get the Options for the report up in time it settles on (Not Responding) until terminated.

More clues:  if I reduce the size of the gnc window (i.e. not fullscreen as I usually have it) I can get a bit further and get this error message

Report error

An error occurred while running the report.

Report Budget Chart failed to generate html: Exception thrown while printing backtrace: In procedure display-backtrace: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting stack): #f

Out of memory

The system itself has plenty of free memory so it isn't the system that is running out.
