Trial balance failed!

Top posting...

I just noticed the following console error:

;;; WARNING (gnc:get-commodity-totalavg-prices:  Sorry, currency 
exchange not yet implemented: EUR 300.00  (buying  GBP 209.08 ) =?  $0.00)

There are a lot of those (I have a lot of currency transactions). Could 
that be the source of the problem?
