[sugar] Trial-3 journal problem

[Eben Eliason]

Hi Bert -

I want to clarify this a bit to be sure I understand what's going on:

- Open activity instance A1
- Get implicit journal entry a1
- Press keep in A1, creating A2 and journal entry a2
- Close A2

(neither A1 or A2 are open, a1 and a2 are in Journal)

- Open journal entry a2 as activity A2
- Close A2
- Get implicit journal entry a2'

(We SHOULD have a1 and a2' in Journal, neither open)

Now, the problem as I read it is that the remaining Journal entries
are a2 and a2' instead of a1 and a2' as it should be.  Am I
understanding you correctly?
