I get that uncaught error just doing a File/Close, no need to save.

Unfortunately, my last backup is too many days ago - just before I did  
the January reconcile for some other accounts, which was before I tried  
working on the Investment accounts.  I'm going to keep all the various  
auto backup and most recent "bad" files to help with any  
troubleshooting, but it looks like I'm going to start over from my last  
known good backup, and leave the investment accounts alone until we  
know what the problem is.

I'll also try to create a test file which shows the error with a file  
ofx import of just the one day that includes those odd interest  
payments.
