Nathan discovered this on #gnucash last night. One problem I see with the cash-flow report is that it includes A/R and A/P accounts as real asset/liability accounts. It should probably not really do that, because the cash actually changes hands between A/R,A/P and Bank, not between A/R,A/P and Income/Expense.
