With -2, a previously fine journal now fails to be parsed. Ledger exits
with

```
% ledger -f journal.ledger bal
Error: User defined source 1: User defined error code 1
```

I've tried other commands, and even simple journals, or reading
`/dev/null` yield this problem. Downgrading to -1 fixes this problem for
now.
