 	  NOTE:  Might need similar fixed in qif-io-core?
 
+	* qif-merge-groups.scm: Limit matches against only the accounts in
+	  the old group, so we don't match against ourselves.  This should
+	  limit the matches to only "reasonable" matches, and should fix #102463
+

 	* configure.in: Remove restriction on guile versions > 1.4.
