[moneydance] Still crashing on reconcile

[Gordon Alley]

I'm using the latest Moneydance on my iMac G4 800 with OS X 10.4.? (whatever
the newest update is). I also have the Unsanity APE and an number of haxies
installed. I haven't had any problems with reconciling my accounts.

And I have a very large Moneydance data file with transactions dating from
before 2000.
