If I understand you right, the field "symbol" is that same symbol which gnucash 
supplied. I added this locally here.

I also opened a bug report and cross-referenced it:

Many thanks for your quick reply, John. I move the discusion to gnucash-user.

There are two things which I think are strange from the gnucash side:

1. gnc-fq-dump reports that stock quote cannot be used, but gnucash uses it
2. duplicate prices: I do not see them with gnc-fq-dump but gnucash shows them

Ist gnucash using gnc-fq-dump in the same way I did?

Thanks
Rainer
