Hi, a few years back I played around with ledger and was able to get 
forecasting / budgeting to work as I'd like.  I wasn't able to make it 
stick in my daily routine, but I'm giving it another shot and running into 
a brick wall... thinking that maybe there was something wrong with my 
inputs, I grabbed the example files from the source (attached) and ran 
through the examples again.  I'm using the latest version installed from 
homebrew (3.1.0-20141005)

In section 9.1, I'm getting a seg fault when attempting
$ ledger -f example.source.ledger.dat -p "this year" --monthly --average 
balance ^expenses

or when attempting:

$ ledger -f example.source.ledger.dat --budget --monthly register ^expenses


A little perplexed, I moved on to 9.2: "This report continues outputting 
postings until the running total is greater than $-500.00. A final posting 
is always shown, to inform you what the total afterwards would be."  So I 
changed the value to -50000 thinking this would list the periodic 
transactions leading me up to the specified amount, but receive the 
attached result. 

Maybe I was just confused, so I moved on to the next example: "Forecasting 
can also be used with the balance report, but by date only, and not against 
the running total"  I changed the date to 2017 hoping to see an appropriate 
balance but no matter what date I put in (2003, 2004, 2050) all I get back 
is the same balance.  Now I go from confusion to frustration...

Any idea what could be going wrong here?  Any insights are appreciated.
