More info....
When I tried manually replacing moneydance.jar, i found it to be in 
use.  There were no moneydance icons in the windows task bar or on the 
applications page of the task manager.  Using Process Explorer, I found 
11 instances of moneydance running!!!  After re-booting, things work 
right again, except that now I'm temporarily back to build 526. 
Is it a reportable bug that moneydance can run invisibly with no way to 
kill it short of re-booting?
