Having fought with this more today, without digging into the source: 1. Ledger does give different results for the same input file. It seems to switch randomly. 2. Ledger fails by randomly failing to handle aliases from the included file. In include a file 'accounts.led' which has all my aliases. 3. The easiest test case for me is to use '--strict'. I will fail about 35% of the time with each alias being an unknown account. 4. The first lines of my 2014 register:
