Tim,

Thak you for the prompt reply!
I know _nothing_ about running `gdb`.  (In fact, it took a little effort
to discover its "quit" command -- versus "exit".)  Below are my failed
efforts at attempting to run moneydance under gdb:

$ gdb Moneydance
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1
...
"/usr/local/bin/Moneydance": not in executable format: File format not recognized
(gdb) quit
$ file /usr/local/bin/Moneydance
/usr/local/bin/Moneydance: symbolic link to `/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance'
$ gdb /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1
...
"/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance": not in executable format: File format not recognized
(gdb) quit
$ file /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance
/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines
$

>>> So, then, not knowing anything about `gdb`, I tried the following
(the way moneydance.desktop executes it (/bin/sh >> dash)):

$ gdb /bin/sh "/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance"
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1
...
Reading symbols from /bin/sh...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
"/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) quit
$

>>> And,

$ gdb "/bin/sh /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance"
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1
...
/bin/sh /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance: No such file or directory.
(gdb) quit
$

Awaiting guidance from The More Knowledgeable.

Thanks,
Jonesy
