I found one bug that prevented the engine from accepting certain
transfers involving two currencies. I think the following patch
fixes the problem:

}
It looks like the bug only occurs when you don't have force double
entry turned on. I found that I couldn't get the gnucash user
interface to work when force double entry is turned on, although the
engine itself works fine with double entry when used via the perl
interface.

Unfortunately, this is asymmetric in that the two currencies have
different status. I have bank accounts in Denmark and the US and I
would like to treat both on an equal basis. I've found that I need to
create duplicate income and expense accounts for all the categories I
have, one for each currency.
