Bruce,

Could you figure out at exactly which setting the transactions start 
disappearing ?
We know 1000 is ok, and 2000 is not.
Can you try with a setting of 1500 and then depending on the outcome try 1250 
(if 1500 doesn't show any transactions) or 1750 (if 1500 shows transactions).

Continue this iteration until you know exactly the amount that starts the 
issue.

With this, I'm looking for a potentially bad transaction.

So if you have found the exact preference setting that still allows to see the 
transactions, try to add one transaction to your cash account and increase the 
number in the preference setting with 1 and see if you still see your 
transactions.

If so, the transaction just before the currently visible transactions is bad. 
Can you find that transaction in your data file and see if there is anything 
unusual about it ?
