1.8.4 datafile corruption

[David Fries]

I'm running the Debian built 1.8.4-2, it's a bit old so it might not
be a problem any more, but I thought I would report it anyway.  I
remember having some oddity with a split when I was using gnucash, but
I don't remember what that was.

gnucash reports,
Warning: sixtp_sax_end_handler: bad closing tag (start <split:account>, end <spe55d>)
Warning: sixtp_sax_end_handler: bad closing tag (start <trn:split>, end <spe55d>)

I'm sure glad I put that file in cvs!  It is an old transaction but
when I reverted those lines it worked, here is the entire transaction
(values changed),
