New error when updating stocks

[Brendan Coupe]

The currency name is E000081. There are lots of similarly named
currencies, the appear to be related to investment purchases. This one
is related to a CD that I purchased. KMM does not handle CDs well and
it's always a mess trying to straighten out my accounts after
importing CD transactions via ofx. I know fixing investments is on the
to do list, I just hope it fixes the handling of CDs.

I don't understand where this or any of the "E000" currencies came
from and I don;t know why 81 is the only one that is attempting to be
updated when I update stocks and currencies.
