Hi Marc,

I am currently not in a position to look into this in more detail, but I do know that the 
accounts receivable handling did change from 2.4 to 2.6 to enable credit notes in 
GnuCash. I wouldn't rule out this code did introduce bugs in how the receivable aging 
reports interprets posted invoices and payments.

I'll get back to this later.
