[moneydance] Still crashing on reconcile

[Fred Dalzell]

Katie, Jim et al - I also had (and have) the crashing on reconcile  
and a related (now closed by Sean) bug on the Search window.

I still have the crashing on my PBG4 (10.4.6 with JSRE4) and am not  
able to complete a reconcile, except as noted below. However, on my  
new Intel iMac, I don't have the crash - just did a reconcile on my  
checking account without problem, even though I tried to induce one.

Sean has indicated that the Unsanity APE or one of the haxies I use  
may been the problem. Since most don't yet work on the Intel chip,  
they aren't enabled. I haven't tried to exclude Moneydance yet, but  
if you use APE and any of Unsanity's haxies (WindowShade, Fruit Menu,  
etc.) you might give it a whirl. I suspect it's something in Apple's  
Java 1.5 implementation on the PPC, but maybe not.

By the way, I get around the reconcile bug by the more tedious method  
of manually checking once (to get the diamond) each cleared  
transaction in the register. Then I save my file (don't want to lose  
that effort). Then I open the reconcile window. If it balances, I  
click Done and Save the file again. Like I said, tedious, but it does  
get around the issue.

Good Luck,

Fred D
