[kmymoney] [Bug 396831] 5.0 Version - Crashes when importing OFX/QFX File Using Firefox

[Jack]

Brendan,

I don't know if it will help or just confuse more, but have you  
captured the full OFX conversation?  In your home directory, create an  
empty file called ofxlog.txt.  Then try connecting again (try updating  
and remapping separately).  That file will then contain the actual ofx  
conversation, including (as best I can tell) the actual URL used by  
KMM, and the actual response from the bank, before being interpreted by  
either libofx or KMM.  Be careful posting results, because that file  
will contain plain text password and account number.
