I have twice recently launched gnucash to have it tell me that my data file is
missing... and sure enough, if I go to the directory it is supposed to be in,
(~/Documents/gnucash) it is no longer there...

Fortunately I have been able to recover:

$ cp gnucash.xac.20090424235542.xac gnucash.xac
$ gnucash gnucash.xac

Weirdly, this file only contained transactions up to 2009-04-02. However, I
then replayed the log file gnucash.xac.20090424235315.log and was back
up-to-date.

What is strange is that the log entries I needed to replay were in that file,
rather than the more-recent gnucash.xac.20090424235544.log file, which was
empty apart from the file headers.

I appreciate that this will be hard to track down... I really have no idea how
to go about it. I can only say that my system hasn't been behaving unusually
in any other regard, wasn't shut down uncleanly, etc., so I currently suspect
the data/log file rollover code in Gnucash itself rather than anything else.
