I have recently started trying to use finance-quote and I ran into a
different issue, the dates are incorrect.  For example, I get the following
from the above command:

Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: ALVR                 <=== required
      date: 00/00/2000           <=== required
  currency: USD                  <=== required
      last: 3.60                 <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 3.60                 <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional

i.e. The price is right but the date is wrong.  When I echo it through gnc-fq-helper
I get:

beth at oasis [12:06pm] echo '(yahoo "ALVR")' | gnc-fq-helper

I'm using GnuCash 2.2.6 under debian and haven't yet done a full search to discover
if this problem is already fixed in a later version.
