Unfortunately I no longer have Ubuntu on any of my current machines (had to
back up and remove my dual boot from my laptop as the small hard drive ran
out of space) so I'm not using wxbanker at the moment, but since I'm still
subscribed to this bug I'd like to point out that my bank uses signed
values. I've attached some sample data taken from one of my Alliance and
Leicester accounts this morning (nothing personally identifiable in here so
I don't mind sharing it).

Cheers,
Gavin
