Description Mike Alexander 2009-01-24 04:08:36 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If the price DB contains the reciprocal of the exchange rate that gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_nearest_price, gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_latest_price, and gnc_pricedb_convert_balance_latest_before need to do their conversion they don't find it and return zero.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached file GBPXAU.xac
2. Set the reporting currency to XAU
3. Note that in the Accounts page, the totals and balances in XAU are all zero


Actual results:
All the totals and balances in XAU are zero

Expected results:
Some of the should be small non-zero numbers

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I'll attach a patch that fixes this

Resubmitted since telling Bugzilla that this is an XML file (which it is) badly confused it.  Let's pretend it's not XML.
