Gnucash 2.2.7_2 after upgrade to Firefox 3.0.9

[Keith Seyffarth]

Is anyone else having issues wit Gnucash 2.2.7 crashing when you try
to open an account after portupgrading Firefox in response to security
audit reports from about a week ago?

(that's the only change I can think of that seems to coincide with the
change in behavior; and yes, I did look through UPDATING for known
issues first...)

Gnucash will launch just fine, but when I try to open an account it
crashes. Running Gnucash in debug mode only reports that there was a
segmentation fault and core was dumped.

Looking through the Gnucash FAQ on the Gnucash site, I saw that there
was an issue similar to this on Windows, and their recommended fix was
to remove ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/gnome2, and ~/gnucash. Though these
instructions were for windows, I tried moving those files to see if
that made a difference, but it didn't.

I also tried pkg_deleting gnucash and then portinstalling it again, as
well as removing the ~/gnucash directory, or removing all the various
.log files and .xac files from the ~/gnucash directory, but I continue
to have the same behavior; gnucash will open, but trying to open an
account in gnucash (either by clicking the "Open" button or by double
clicking the account name) gets gnucash to dump core.

I have also downloaded the source tarball for gnucash 2.2.9 from
sourceforge, but encounter an issue running ./configure on that, as it
is not finding gettext (which I appear to have installed at
/usr/local/bin/gettext).

Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?
