Balance sheet does not tally

[Mike Alexander]

The transaction you quote below shouldn't be considered balanced if its 
exchange rate is not 1.5.  Prior to 2.6 there was a bug that would 
sometimes consider transactions like this to be balanced, but that bug 
has been fixed.  When I fixed that bug I discovered that I had a number 
of unbalanced transactions that had never been noticed before.

I'm not sure what, if anything, this has to do with the original 
question about balance sheets not balancing.  Unfortunately I don't 
have much to add to that.  One brute force way to attack this problem 
is to run balance sheet reports at various dates in the past to see 
when it first fails to balance.  Then look for transactions around that 
date to see which one is causing the problem.
