[GNC] Matching multiple duplicates for the same amount

[David Carlson]

Please provide more information.  The version of GnuCash with source of
download from the About screen, your OS,and the type of import that you are
using.  Also, your bank is very unusual to offer to only download
transactions that you have not downloaded earlier.
