Fwd: Error parsing file

Well, I fixed the problem, sort of. I disabled the check in
dom_tree_handlers_all_gotten_p() in sixtp-dom-parsers.c, and the file
opens successfully. Only catch is that the accounts get prefixed with
'Root Account', but that's a small price to pay, I guess :)

Regards,
Rajesh

I guess the only option is to wade through the source code and
hopefully debug the problem.
