Stock Splits?

[Keith Bellairs]

Thanks, John. Always good to know I have a well known bug.

Ubuntu 12.04 lts for some reason has not updated gnc. I will go up to 2.6.1
one way or another. (In fact, Synaptic package manager shows me good old
2.4.10.

In the meantime I opened up the sqlite db in sqlitemanager and deleted the
transaction and its split. that fixed almost everything.
