QIF importer bug in GC 2.2.2 - split transactions

[whamblen at northstar.dartmouth.edu]

Hi,

I think it'll be easier to explain with a little context.  I have 
hundreds of paycheck entries in Quicken 2004 each of which is a split 
transaction that has (among other things) two transfers from a checking 
account to a retirement account: one for the employee's contribution and 
one for the employer's matching contribution.  These are for the same 
amount, between the same accounts, with only the memo field different.

The importer seems to remove these Quicken account <-> Quicken account 
transfers from the split and put them into new separate GC transactions. 
That part is fine (actually I wish it wouldn't but the account balances 
are still correct).  The Quicken account <-> Quicken category transfers 
remain in a GC split transaction.  The problem is that one of the 
retirement transfers *also* stays in the GC split transaction.  In other 
words, where we originally had two transfers from checking to retirement 
we now have three.

The problem disappears if the amounts are different.  The memo field 
doesn't seem to change anything (in fact it gets attached to the wrong 
part of the split but I vaguely remember seeing that bug/feature already 
reported).

Anyway, I created a sample QIF file (attached) that demonstrates the 
behavior.  I didn't see anything in bugzilla but there are an awful lot 
of importer bugs :-) and I may have missed it.  I'm quite happy to file 
a bug report if people think this is a real and not a dupe.  I'm most 
interested in a more immediate workaround if anybody has ideas: either 
on the Quicken end or via a patch to the importer or even just a pointer 
to where in the source I should look.

Thanks in advance,

  - Bill
