A question for you folks -- Does anyone know how far back a data file must go before the SQL interface starts truncating data? Is this bug specific to Donald's dataset, or has anyone else seen this? I've got data just for 2009-10, and I'm not seeing any truncation or spurious amounts (so far, anyway).
Running Gnucash 2.3.7 built from svn r18386 on 2009-10-19, running on Ubuntu 9.04.
