Floating point errors?

[Pete DePasquale]

It's a Gateway 2K G6-300 (aka Pentium 2, 300Mhz).  It has 192 Mb.

I have not tried a later version, I used the FreeBSD ports and 1.4.2 is the
latest that's in there.  I can certainly d/l it and give it a whirl....

I have however, tried to open the storage file (that holds the accounts) within
gnucash, and then do a 'save as' or 'save' thinking it might re-write the file
and correct the issue (nice try, thanks for playing), but that did not work. :-(
