Description

I was trying out this example John posted to the mailing list:

ledger -f foo.dat reg assets liabilities --daily -n -F '%(date) %12(total)\n'

But it causes an assertion failure for me:

Error: Assertion failed in "/build/ledger-SR1_DQ/ledger-3.1.3/src/unistring.h", line 72:ledger::unistring::unistring(const string&): len < 1024                               

I tracked it down to this transaction, which is a stock purchase followed by a bunch of automatic dividend reinvestments (numbers changed for privacy):
