Additional info:  I manually modified the kmy database of an investment that
causes kmymoney to hang when editing it.  I removed the first two lines
concerning on-line quote updating of the following sequence:

    <PAIR key="kmm-online-quote-system" value="Finance::Quote" />
    <PAIR key="kmm-online-source" value="france" />
    <PAIR key="kmm-security-id" value="dummy" />
    </KEYVALUEPAIRS>
    </SECURITY>

I then gzipped the file and opened it with kmymoney.  This time, I was able to
edit the investment.  Finance::Quote is broken at this moment for this
investment because the format of the website has changed.  The problem seems 
to
be that editing an investment triggers a quote look-up, which does not time
out.  A work-around is as follows:  Right-click the investment, select online
update, let it time out, select to permanently remove online updates for this
security.  From then on, editing no longer hangs.  Perhaps a fix for this bug
simply consists of inerting a time-out for the online quote lookup (or 
skipping it altogether).
