Package: gnucash
Version: 2.2.9-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When opening some accounts (the most complex ones?), they are no
longer displayed if gnucash has been started under UTF-8 locales
(see attached snapshot, as an example).

If need be, I can try to provide a simple testcase, but it would
probably take me several hours.

This problem seems to be very recent (a few days?). But I'm not
sure, because sometimes I may have started gnucash under ISO8859-1
locales. The problem still appears after removing the ~/.gnucash
file and reverting to an old XML file (so, the problem is not due
to a recent change in these files).

The problem is reproducible with the local X server and a remote one
(Mac OS X Tiger machine, when there has never been any problem until
now).

FYI, I get the following messages in the terminal:

gnc.bin-Message: main: binreloc relocation support was disabled at configure 
time.

gwenhywfar-INFO: plugin.c:  574: Plugin type "configmgr" unregistered
gwenhywfar-INFO: plugin.c:  574: Plugin type "dbio" unregistered

Note: I'm setting this bug to "grave" even though the problem
disappears when I start gnucash under ISO8859-1 locales, because
UTF-8 is so important and is now the default in Debian.

A workaround may be provided by a wrapper doing

  LC_CTYPE=C gnucash

but I don't know the consequences.
