I just figured it out. Chase uses a blank line instead of a line
containing only the "^" character to separate transactions. I'm using
this to strip the top blank line:
sed -i '/./,$!d' file.qif
and then this to replace all blank lines with the "^" character:
sed -i 's/^[[:blank:]]*$/^/' file.qif
That seems to work. Surely the Chase files are out of spec but is
this something Gnucash could work around? If so I'll file a bug.
