Closing books and reports

In GNUCash, closing the books zeros all the income and expense accounts by 
transferring their balance into an equity account.  If I generate a report 
that spans the year-end then this transfer is included in the report.

For example, if I want to find out how much money came in through an 
income account over a particular period, I can generate a cash flow 
report; but if this report spans the end of the financial year, it will 
include the transfer between the income account and the equity account 
that was generated by closing the books.  Obviously this throws out all 
the totals and also causes the report showing where money flowed to/from 
to include all the other accounts that were in the book-closing split 
too.  Is there any way to exclude these transactions from the report 
generation?
