Error parsing equity report

[dim]

Hi,

I have some problems with ledger parsing its own equity report. Only in this specific case, usually there's no problem.

Commands:

ledger -f main.dat equity > equity.dat     /* create equity report

ledger -f equity.dat bal      /* bal or reg doesn't matter, same error

 

While parsing file "equity.dat", line 158:
Error: Assertion failed in "/build/ledger-2L3TES/ledger-3.1.1+dfsg1/src/error.cc", line 91:ledger::string ledger::source_context(const path&, istream_pos_type, istream_pos_type, const string&): len < 8192

$ ledger --version
Ledger 3.1.1-20160111, the command-line accounting tool

Line 158 is the last line, nothing special there. Is the file too long?

Indeed it seems a length issue. Splitting the output in two and adding a balance account works.

It turns out that it's not the splitting the equity report that prevents the error when parsing the equity report again, it's the added balance account. When such an account is added ledger seems to use it to park the result of some rounding error (in my case $0.04).

`equity' never works as written in the manual. Every end of the year, when I want to archive the previous year, it try to follow exactly the steps proposed in the manual: I ever fail. Because of `equity` inconsistencies as it  seems. Then I always do the archiviing manually.
