This is a good question.  On December 23, 2008, Charles Day stated in
the GnuCash User mail list that it was a known bug for this security
type to appear in the list.

However, I was not able to find such a bug in GnuCash bugzilla, so
perhaps this is a figment of our collective imagination.

But it also appears in the June 24 2009 GnuCash IRC logs, where the
standard answer is given to edit the datafile manually to remove the
offending data.

I recall that this question has been asked other times, by myself as
well, but I do not recall any other more satisfactory answer ever being
given.

Can someone find the original bug report and escalate it so that it does
not languish for another four years?  I am sure that the fix is trivial.

Thank you
