Hi Michael,

Before you start faffing with backups and re-entering data, does the current 
working file let you reconcile completely if you just ignore the fact that the 
starting balance is off?

The log files don't, AFAIK, contain things like account creation/editing, 
business objects, budgets and possibly SX information.  But they would let you 
get "normal" transactions more easily than re-entering data.  
I stil think it most likely that you have inadvertently chanded or deleted an 
already-reconciled transaction, possibly from the "other" account side, rathe 
than a GC bug or inconsistancy.  

Log replays would probably still contain that txn so you may still end up in 
the same place if you just drag logs in again.  There is a "reset warnings" 
option, possibly in the preferences which might help to at least reduce the 
likelyhood of this happening.
