It might be better to use a binary search--cut out half the QIF, then
attempt to import.  If there's a problem, then it's obv. in the first
half.  So cut out half of what remains, and try again.  If there's no
problem, then it's obv. in the second half; add half of what you
removed back in, and try again.  Iterate until the bad entry is found.

I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in
poverty.  Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are
apparently doing quite well for themselves.         --Emo Philips
