doc/examples/trading.xac and trading2.xac are both 1.4 files; there
may be others in that directory.

The current cvs built gnucash was able to import 'trading.xac' just
fine; so whatever it is that was broken in the 1.4 format, its not
broken here.  i.e. this is a real bug ... 

BTW, the gnucash version 1.4 file import even has a nice druid to go
with it!
