Right, I know I'm not hitting that bug.

For as long as I can remember, I've seen this output exactly thrice for
every book load, i.e. GnuCash session. Here's typical output:

gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version "1.11
Transactions: Total: 535, Loaded: 547
Accounts: Total: 114, Loaded: 113
Books: Total: 1, Loaded: 0
Commodities: Total: 0, Loaded: 0
Scheduled Tansactions: Total: 11, Loaded: 9
Budgets: Total: 1, Loaded: 0
Transactions: Total: 535, Loaded: 547
Accounts: Total: 114, Loaded: 113
Books: Total: 1, Loaded: 0
Commodities: Total: 0, Loaded: 0
Scheduled Tansactions: Total: 11, Loaded: 10
Budgets: Total: 1, Loaded: 0
Transactions: Total: 535, Loaded: 547
Accounts: Total: 114, Loaded: 113
Books: Total: 1, Loaded: 0
Commodities: Total: 0, Loaded: 0
Scheduled Tansactions: Total: 11, Loaded: 11
Budgets: Total: 1, Loaded: 0

My real question is, do lines like:

Transactions: Total: 535, Loaded: 547
Accounts: Total: 114, Loaded: 113

tell me anything at all (good or bad) about my data file?

If so, would it make sense to print only lines where the numbers are
not equal?
