Account Balance Computation with opening balance w/o any splits

[Derek Atkins]

I've got a problem with how account balances are computed.  In
particular, the function xaccAccountRecomputeBalance() seems to not
work "right" for Stock and Mutual Fund accounts.  In particular, it
fails to recognize opening balances properly.  The code in question is
at the end of the function.  In particular, I've got the proper
numbers but there just aren't any splits.  So the balances get set to
zero.  I think this is a bug (or I can just reset the balance after I
'commit' the account and force the numbers).

Is this a bug or is there something else going on that I just don't
understand?

  if ( (STOCK == acc->type)  ||
       (MUTUAL == acc->type) ||
       (CURRENCY == acc->type) ) {
    acc -> share_balance = share_balance;
    acc -> share_cleared_balance = share_cleared_balance;
    acc -> share_reconciled_balance = share_reconciled_balance;
    if (last_split) {
      acc -> balance = price_xfer(last_split, share_balance);
      acc -> cleared_balance = price_xfer(last_split, share_cleared_balance);
      acc -> reconciled_balance = 
        price_xfer(last_split, share_reconciled_balance);
    } 
    else {
      acc -> balance = gnc_numeric_zero();
      acc -> cleared_balance = gnc_numeric_zero();
      acc -> reconciled_balance = gnc_numeric_zero();
    }
  } else {
    acc -> share_balance = dbalance;
    acc -> share_cleared_balance = dcleared_balance;
    acc -> share_reconciled_balance = dreconciled_balance;
    acc -> balance = dbalance;
    acc -> cleared_balance = dcleared_balance;
    acc -> reconciled_balance = dreconciled_balance;
  }
