Subject:   Gnucash 2.2.7_2 after upgrade to Firefox 3.0.9

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?
