You don't need to recompress.  KMyMoney will read the xml.

OK.  The line number, I was assuming, was in your xml line, not the program
source.

Can you send me off-list, the last dozen or so lines of your xml file.

Also, please run 'xmllint yourxmlfilenamehere', and see what that finds.  I
see there is a --recover option, "--recover : output what was parsable on
broken XML documents" so you could try 'xmllint yourxmlfilenamehere >
~/xmloutput.xml', and see what you get in the ~/xmloutput.xml file.  Try
comparing with the original.
