I've just tried this out, having compiled 2.6.5 and (finally) installed
it after running into a a persistent trouble which I don;'t understans.

My problem is I've still got $4K 'owing' for 90 days plus, when it's all
been paid to me. There was overpayment and underpayment at different
stages, then 2c left due to rounding differences, for which I made a
Credit Note.

The totals in the report add up, I've been paid, but I can't get the
customer report to say so.
