Hm, it does not seem to have anything to do with the availability of
the locales:

The following locales let GNUcash crash:

  de_DE
  de_DE.iso88591
  de_DE at euro
  es_ES
  es_ES at euro
  es_ES.iso88591
  es_ES.iso885915 at euro

The following locales work:

  en_US
  en_US.iso88591
  en_US.iso885915
  en_US.utf8
  de_DE.utf8
  es_ES.utf8
  xxx

All (crashing and non-crashing) locales (except for "xxx") are listed
by "locale -a", and therefore should be available.


The crashes leave this gnucash.trace:
