Hi, I did some hacking on the advanced portfolio report a while
back... 

Without really working through what you've done here, due to time
constraints, I totally believe that the problem is with the advanced
portfolio report. I fixed a number of problems it had, and added some
new features, but definitely introduced other bugs as a result. I
don't have time to contribute at this point, but would be happy to
answer questions about what I did, and maybe help work out what its
supposed to do.
