Oops, you are right - Derek has 1.3.31, but I have 1.3.29, which means I still 
experience this bug unless I upgrade to some newer versions (where newer 
means newer than May 2006...)

Gnucash currently requires only swig 1.3.28. We either need to upgrade this 
(on trunk) to 1.3.31 or we need to add a workaround for versions lower than 
1.3.31, which would mean adding "-Dinline=" to SWIG_PYTHON_OPT.
