There should be no limit on the file size other than the hard disk size and any OS imposed limits. I have a 16.1Mb files that loads in a few seconds. It is unlikely 2.6.19 itself would be upgraded during an Ubuntu upgrade. It may be possible that a library that GnuCash uses could have been

The time to check the tracefile is after a crash and before restarting GnuCash, it can/will get overwritten on restart. I *think* a newer (3.x) release was backported to the Ubuntu 18.04 backport repos, but I could be mistaken. Search the list (or repos) for more info. You might also try the
