GNUcash crashes on close

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I wonder if this is related to bug 1273407?

I do not know if it is related to the other bug report you mentioned. All that I know is that I have this problem and I don't know what to do resolve it.

I've read through that bug report but I have the uptodate packages so I can't tell if this is the same bug or not.

Can you suggest anything for me to try?

Sorry, I don't have anything to suggest right now. If somebody can provide help, I welcome them to post workarounds to this bug. But otherwise, requests for support don't belong in this bug tracker. See http://community.ubuntu.com/help-information/ for community support options.

Hi, just a very quick question - someone on askubuntu has asked me a question - is there a 64bit version of GNUcash? I didn't think there is as there only seems one version on the official GNUcash website and there's only one in the Getdeb site.

Please ignore the last question - I wrote it on the wrong website. I needed the bugzilla for GNUcash.! Oops.

This should be the reladed bug report in GNUcash:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728717

I also provided a backtrace:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The bug was in GNUcash:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728717#c24

Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to resolve this issue.

One extra point- since the fix was released via getdeb - the close down of GNUcash has been considerably slower than before all of this bug happened. Can anyone else comment on their experience?
