QIF import fails for zero sum split

[B Wooster]

Sure - here are the parts of the .QIF file that show a correct and failed
import:

This one correctly imports - The GnuCash Checking account has a single
$1200 entry no entries for 401K or Savings Quicken account transfers:

D7/31' 0
U1,200.00
T1,200.00
CX
PPay Check
LSalary
SSalary
EPaycheck (before tax)
$4,593.75

This one fails to correctly import.
The GnuCash Checking account has a two Withdrawals for 270 and 1673.31, the
two account transfers in Quicken:
