Been watching the replies to this with interest: there's a lot of
knowledge out there.

But, thinking about it, the problem that I ran across was that the two
splits in the offending transaction had ended up with a CR and a DB for
the same amount to the same account; it was a null transaction.  I
hesitate to say this, having been proved thoroughly wrong before, but
surely there can't be a reason to want a transaction like that?
