[GNC-dev] There was an error parsing the file...

[chris graves]

I performed a git clone of the maint branch on July 31st, built and
have been using it successfully since.  Today I performed a git pull in
the unmodified clone.  Now using the freshly compiled gnucash, when opening a saved (via save as) copy
of a previously okay gnucash file I get the error:
"There was an error parsing the file".

Uncompressing and doing an sdiff -s on the original file and the non-working saved file:
mbp:gnucashSaves chris$ sdiff -s ok.gnucash bad.gnucash 
							      >	     xmlns:vendor="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/vendor"
							      >	     xmlns:addr="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/addr"
							      >	     xmlns:billterm="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/billterm"

							      >	     xmlns:owner="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/owner"
							      >	     xmlns:taxtable="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/taxtable"
							      >	     xmlns:tte="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/tte"
mbp:gnucashSaves chris$

It turns out that each of the above lines appears twice in the non-working file.  After
manually removing the duplicates, the file opens just fine.

Thoughts...
