Receivables Aging Misreporting

We'll, doing a manual calculation of the customer's invoices and payments yields equal amounts; 5k in debits and 5k in credits.  So it's the receivables aging report that is wrong.  

Not sure what an auto-payment-forward transaction, but this customer does prepay for service, so most, if not all A/R transactions for this client are split transactions.

How do I got about fixing this?

Another possibility is that you hit the bug where GnuCash thinks
the invoices weren't paid properly and you've got lots of 
auto-payment-forward transactions in your A/R account throwing
off all your balances.
