I just successfully compiled 1.9.8 (svn r14412) on my Ubuntu Dapper
system (The wiki page for compiling on Breezy was great help, I only had
to add a few other packages). So thanks everyone for that.
On a lark I tried the Check and Repair function. All looked well except
that it created a new account called "Orphaned-Gains-USD", with a very
large balance. In that account are realized gains transactions for a
large number of stock and mutual fund sales. The problem is, I already
had realized gain/loss transactions for many of those sales (I've found
a few that I didn't do this for), the few of which I've checked match
exactly the sums of the new transactions. An Example:
Date Description(Transfer) Shares Price Buy Sell Balance
10/24 open(equity:cost basis) 133 20.11 2675 133
6/6 sale (Split) -133 8.05 1071 0
6/6 (Inc:real:stock) 1604 0
6/6 (Orphaned Gains-USD) 1604 0

Is this a Check and repair bug?
