I did. The only change that seemed to affect me was the accumulate 
splits thing. I have made it a habit not to accumulate splits, because 
of the bugs in the previous version.

What does  this do anyway? What are the consequences of using/not using it?

Ok. I know that I had to forward pay sometime this year, so I can 
understand it. I also see that there is a corresponding reverse 
transaction for this.

Well, I think I only recently updated to 1.8.11. For some reason, it 
seems to have made it only recently to Gentoo.

Ugh!

Is there a way for me to see what bills have accumulated splits, without 
unposting/reposting each of them one at a time? Is there some sort 
identifier in the .xac file that can help me track them down?
