How... ODD.  It looks like it's trying to compare
"Expenses:Insurance:Life Insurance:Laurent" against #f, which seems to
imply that somehow '#f' is getting into your list of accounts.

Without seeing your data file, I'm not sure what to tell you.  I've
got a potential patch to fix the symptom, but it wont fix the actual
problem.  Indeed, I have no clue what your actual problem is...

If you could send me your datafile and the cash-flow configuration you
used I could try to track down the actual problem.  In the meantime,
can you try this patch and let me know if it fixes the symptom?
