stock price broken

[brad]

I uninstalled GC (2.2.9),  including the dependencies that were updated
for 2.4.  I still have the new build coexisting.  I Reinstalled GC
(2.2.9), & I've rolled back to the last gc file before I started using
2.4 & it looks OK.  The 1st file after I started using 2.4 is corrupted
w/ many stock or fund entries showing a commodity price of 1, and the
price can't be changed.

After I get caught up I'll see if I can duplicate this.   Looking for
suggestions on what to look for or how to approach this.
