This anomaly has only occurred in August. So definitely not "long ago".

I discovered this because of simple logging. In the main F::Q module 
there is a snippet of code that hits a URL on a personal web page. To 
avoid/minimize privacy issues, only the F::Q version and request method 
is logged in addition to normal HTTP log data.


Each month I process that the previous month's HTTP log and the results 
are published on https://panix.com/~hd-fxsts/webalizer/


Users can opt out by setting the environment variable "FQ_NOCOUNT" prior 
to executing GnuCash or F::Q.
