Oh right, *that* problem.  I had forgotten about it in the confusion.

You have prices for midnight on January 4 and midnight on January 5. 
The report date, for the purpose of price lookup, is noon on January 5, 
exactly half way between these two.  The report used one function to 
look up the price and a different one to do the exchange calculation 
from SHA to CAD.  These two functions had different rules for resolving 
the halfway between situation.

I've checked in a version that resolves this by always using the price 
returned from the price lookup.  You can get the new version at
