That is not really as bad as it looks.  All those errors about account 
opening dates are from recent changes to the program, so you would not 
have seen them previously.  However, I don't think any of these errors 
should cause a crash.  The first step is to recover your data and let 
you keep working.  After that, if saved a copy of the bad database, then 
at a lower priority, it might be possible to find the source of the crash.

The issue is that an account should not have any transaction with a date 
earlier than the opening date of the account.  In KMM, payees and 
categories are internally treated as accounts, and when they are 
created, their opening date is the date they were created, not the date 
of the first transaction.  This is where most of these issues come from.

As you saw, KMM was able to fix most of those errors by altering the 
opening date of the account.  For the others, you can try to manually 
edit the account and change the opening day to be early enough.  In 
general, the best way I have found to do this is to open the ledger for 
the target account, then click the edit account icon (if you have it 
displayed) or else select the Account/Edit menu.  It seems the "Opening 
Balances" account is a bit difficult to find - but the first transaction 
in the ledger for most other accounts is the initial transfer of the 
opening balance for that account, so you can right click on the 
transaction, and there should be a choice "Go to 'Opening Balances"'.
