Null Account

[Perry Smith]

Not if I read the debug properly.  It is a sub account  of Fidelity 
Ultra.  The DB insert statement has about 9 elements.  The  last two 
are parent GUID and GUID (going memory) and the  parent GUID was the  
same as Fidelity Plus's GUID.  Plus, it  matched the other entry  
statements for the other non-null sub accounts of Fidelity Plus 
account.

I'm trying to walk around the structures with gdb but I recompiled 
without optimization because things were weird.
