Replaying .log file: never works

[Derek Atkins]

I've never heard of that particular failure mode, but there are 
certainly other
bugs in the log replay where it will import transactions incorrectly.  In
particular, it screws up the txn currency.  In short, you should save-early,
save-often.  Get into the habit of hitting "save" all the time.
