Strange arithmetic

[Thomas Baumgart]

Jack,

can you try the contrib/getsplitpart.pl script to extract
the info of that account and check it using a spread-sheet program?

I suspect it to be caused by some rounding issue (possibly in an
older transaction recorded with an older version of KMyMoney).
