Hi,

homebank 5.8.6-1 (trixie) segfaults when I try to open the details
of some transactions. The version in sid (currently 5.9.1-1) is not
affected.

This can be easily reproduced with the attached test case:

1. Open the file with 'homebank text.xhb'
2. There is one single account, double click on it to see the list of
   transactions.
3. There is one single transaction, double click on it.

This should open a dialog to see and edit the transaction
details. Instead, it segfaults:

Thread 1 "homebank" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) print child

I had a closer look at this, here is the upstream bug:

And the attached patch seems enough to fix it.
