Uh, may I ask why you have 2 credits in one transaction?  There is
nothing particular WRONG with it, but generally you have one credit
and a lot of debits, or one debit and a lot of credits.

Ahh, sorry, I did misunderstand you.  Yes, this does sound like a
problem.

Agreed.  Can you file a bug report on this?  Useful information to
supply would be your example transaction and your report setup.  Or
if you're willing, you could just attach your complete data file
and give the step-by-step instructions to show the bug...
