Buying stock does not withdraw the money from source-account

[Derek Atkins]

you're probably hitting http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116353
where your locale currency is not the same as the currency you want for
the transaction.  Read the bug report for workarounds (create the initial
transaction from the Bank account and then go and edit it from the stock
account).

> The stock account is updated correctly - I get 100 shares, and "Buy"
