Work-around to declare Unknown accounts?

[Charles Merriam]

Hello All,

I'm trying to use --pedantic and finding the problem with declaring the 'Unknown' account.

If I declare this account with the usual line:

     account Unknown

I get a Segmentation Fault 11 on my OS/X version of ledger.   If I comment the line out, I get an 'Error:  Unknown Account' error. 

Anyone found a work around?

Charles

for the curious, the seg fault is somewhere in register_account/journal.cc

and the account.led file offending line, about 400 lines in is:

...

account Transfer:Visa

;account Unknown

account Unknown:Amazon

  payee ^AMAZON MKTPLACE

  payee ^AMAZON.COM

account Unknown:PayPal

I just pushed a possible fix for this. Can you try? "Unknown" has special
meaning for account names in some places, so you are triggering code paths
that have never been used in this context.

Thanks, John

Here's the accounts.led file. It should fail with a 'ledger -f
accounts0918.led bal' -- Charles
