    I tried that already.  It just makes it worse.  Also, they are not the
only lines:

$ fgrep -i book mymoney
<gnc:count-data cd:type="book">1</gnc:count-data>
<gnc:book version="(null)">
<book:id type="guid">e86a2086e5cc6de1fbb050b303580f22</book:id>
</gnc:book>
$ cp mymoney mymoney.orig ; vi mymoney
$ diff mymoney mymoney.orig
3a4
> <gnc:book version="(null)">

$ gnucash mymoney
