Check your AR and AP accounts and see if you have imbalanced
transactions.  Most likely you are seeing one of the side effects of
the bug I "reported" yesterday.

"Accumulate Splits" (which is the default) means that if you have
multiple invoice line-items that go into the same account the invoice
code will accumulate all those entries into a single split.
Unfortunately this "default" is broken in 1.8.10.
