We are using GnuCash 1.3.8. I also installed and tried 1.2.5, 1.3.0 and
1.3.3 and all gave me the same behavior. (I pulled down a copy from
CVS, too, but couldn't get it to compile.)

Hmm. We don't have any stock/mutual fund entries yet, we only have our
one checking account put in the system. I will double check our
existing check entries for any decimal problems, but I'm sure I would
have already seen them.
