Ok, did that.  Though I used 1000000 (for 6 decimal digits).

Didn't know that was XML -- cool.  Well, there seems to be some sort of bug
at work here because it didn't work.  As a follow-up test, I did this: in
that gnc:account, I just changed:

  <act:currency-scu>1000000</act:currency-scu>
  <act:security-scu>10000</act:security-scu>

invoked gnucash, re-keyed the 6-digit Unit Price, saved it, and then found
that the gnucash.dat file contained:

  <act:currency-scu>100</act:currency-scu>
  <act:security-scu>1000000</act:security-scu>

for that same account.  Some the scu's seem to be getting mixed up internally.

Also, I should note (in case it's related) that whenever I start GNUCash up
this morning, I get 10 of these messages:

  Warning: PrintAmountInternal: max_decimal_places too small

These are new. I didn't get them yesterday.
