Repost of test8.ledger, there is a typo about the signed amount.
This has no impact on the bug, but this has impact on realisticness of
the transaction.
$ cat test8.ledger
1998/05/05 Buy AAPL
Assets:Broker 10 AAPL @ $30
Expense:Broker:Commissions $15
Assets:Broker
1999/08/16 Sell AAPL
Assets:Broker -10 AAPL @ $60
Expense:Broker:Commissions $15
Assets:Broker $585
[Income:Capital Gains] $-300 ; buy price 10*30
[Income:Capital Gains] $600 ; sell price 10*60
[Income:Capital Gains]
