Thanks for the bug report.  I have fixed the problem that caused
gnucash to fail to import this file, but I have to ask you what your
understanding of the *meaning* of this transaction is.

According to the parsing rules I understand for QIF transfer/split
lines, the "L" line says that this transaction has no Category but is
in the Class Travel:N|[Travel].  This doesn't seem right, because it
would be a very strange use of the Class field.  It seems more likely
that this is really a Transfer to the account Travel, in the Class
Travel:N ... is this correct?  

If so, MS Money is bastardizing the QIF format AGAIN....  fortunately
I can change our parser to handle this pretty easily.  Please let me
know which of these interpretations is correct.

Thanks,
