The problem is that it matched against an otherwise identical
transaction in a different account (also Merrill Lynch Investment
account.)

It turns out I own the same number of shares of the same stock in
both accounts, but I would not have expected to match a transaction
in a different account. Should I open a bug report for this?
Before you do, I have some more questions:
- what type of matching do you use on both accounts (FITID or hash)?
FITID (and I'm quite sure these are consistent with Merrill Lynch)
- in either case, what is the FITID/hash of the stored and the
imported transaction (I agree the hash for the imported transaction
can become tricky, but you can look into the kmm-statement....txt
file)
Unfortunately, I had done some more work after the problem showed up
and before I started checking. I do have an automatic save of 10
versions, but I really couldn't make any sense of what I was seeing. I
haven't given up on this, but at some point, I'm going to have to find
my most recent backup prior to the problem, do an import including the
first account with that transaction, then import for the other account,
keeping careful track of the actual transaction records in the file at
each step. I'll post back when I have something to act on.
Is there a match?

Thomas
