Hopefully, this is now all put to bed.  All four funds use the same
symbol, but for each of these there is a record with a pointer to the
account id and to the parent account id.  Also, it includes the security
name.  These names didn't all tally, and as the Prices Editor,
presumably, has to scan the whole table, it finds all four names,
including their differences.  The Securities tab, perhaps, just looks at
each id in the list and reports the symbol, but doesn't need to look for
duplicates.

All now looks good, after the editing of three records in the xml file.
