I've reproduced the gnucash crash.

The actual crash stack trace is (using 2.15~pre6-0ubuntu2):

#0  do_lookup_x (new_hash=2334765441, old_hash=<optimized out>, result=0x7fffffffdb60, scope=<optimized out>, i=0, flags=2, skip=0x0, undef_map=0x7ffff7ff8000) at dl-lookup.c:98

The problem appears to be that the map->l_local_scope in frame #2
is corrupt:

(gdb) p map.l_name
$16 = 0x7ffff7ffafa8 "/usr/lib/gnucash/gnucash/libgncmod-app-utils.so"
(gdb) p map.l_local_scope
$17 = {0x7ffff7ff82b8, 0x0}
(gdb) p map.l_local_scope[0]
$18 = (struct r_scope_elem *) 0x7ffff7ff82b8
(gdb) p map.l_local_scope[0][0]
$19 = {r_list = 0x63bb48, r_nlist = 56}
(gdb) p map.l_local_scope[0][0].r_list[0]
$20 = (struct link_map *) 0x51

Back in frame #0:

(gdb) x/i $pc
=> 0x7ffff7de3b32 <do_lookup_x+146>:    mov    0x28(%rax),%rsi
(gdb) p/x $rax
$21 = 0x51

The value 0x51 is written into 0x63bb48 here:
Hardware watchpoint 1: *(int**)0x0063bb48

Old value = (int *) 0x301
New value = (int *) 0x51

So it's pretty clear that map.l_local_scope[0][0].r_list is dangling.
