Parsing error

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Could you go find this transaction in a working file and print
the XML?  You can look for:

   <trn:id type="guid">3e65aed7a2da52e7df9d8a683f2ff38e</trn:id>

It would be useful to know what the Opening Balance transaction
looked like before!

It would also be useful to know if it's always the same transaction
that changes.  E.g., if you open the same source file and then
re-save it, is it always the same transaction that changes?

Thanks,

-derek
