It is also clear that the solution is not a trivial one. Incidentally, as far I am aware only one of the current active developers is in the USA.

I did manage to find that, sometime after I posted - was looking with 
the wrong parameters before - and I agree it's not at all trivial.  Nor 
did I expect it was.  The fact that it has taken over a year to get a 
patch together that should work is evidence enough. That extended 
conversation was most edifying.  Unsurprisingly, it's an issue that 
covers a number of currencies and locales.  So I stand corrected.

In any case, I was concerned more about the reference to 'whining' - 
especially since the original poster had already filed a bug report 
(which has been referenced in the original).  This list is not a place 
for cheap shots.

The workaround is useful, though my purposes differ, and I had already 
developed another way of dealing with it.  I don't know whether the 
patch has been incorporated yet, but look forward with great interest to 
the next version that uses it.

Thank you both, Mike and David

Cheers
