0 price for total loss of shares

[Stefano M Canta]

A 0.0 price does not work.
Let's say I have 100 shares and I have a loss on 2.
I will write a transaction for  -2 shares at a price of 0, but the advanced
report for some reason can't compute the basis anymore when I have two or
three of these total loss transactions.
