Scheduled transactions is how he could get 95K of log file in milliseconds.
Good eye, noticing the temp file: The save failed for some reason and left
GnuCash in a state where it quit without removing the lock. It's too bad that
we overwrite trace files on MacOS. It would be useful to see if anything got
logged about the save failing.
I think it's time to open a bug on this.
