Umm.. I can try, but I didn't do the work so you're testing the memory
of someone who watched it from the sidelines.  IIRC the lot scrubber
didn't always do the right thing, didn't handle all cases, and also
IIRC it didn't do the proper thing if you already had manual
cap-gains splits.

In other words, IIRC, it corrupted your data in strange ways.
