OK, here is something that sort of shows my problem:
<<<<---- CUT HERE test.dat---->>>>
2011/02/17 * (AUTO) VIFSX
Assets:Standard:Deferred (701.11/102.27 VIFSX)
Assets:Standard:Deferred $-701.11
2011/02/17 * (AUTO) VIFSX
Assets:Standard:Matching (350.56/102.27 VIFSX)
Income:Exempt:Matching $-350.56
2011/03/03 * (AUTO) VIFSX
Assets:Standard:Deferred (701.11/101.60 VIFSX)
Assets:Standard:Deferred $-701.11
2011/03/06 (MAN) Sell everything
Assets:Standard:Deferred -13.76 VIFSX @ $107.56
Assets:Standard:Matching -3.43 VIFSX @ $107.56
Assets:Fidelity

Notice the -0.01 VIFSX still left in the ASSETS even though I "sold"
everything in the uncleared transaction.
