The ofxlog.txt file contains the data as received from the bank. If
it shows these weird values, then it is a problem introduced by the
sender. Does the request part show a date range and is that valid?
Is there a difference in the logs (esp. the request part) between
5.1.3 and the version you use to get those weird results?

That data is parsed by libofx so you cannot find anything in KMyMoney
other than the code you find in OFXImporter::ofxStatementCallback but
that uses the data extracted by libofx.

I do understand that, but we can't do anything when the bank sends
that kind of data.
