[GNC] No longer able to reconcile register accounts

[Colin Law]

I am seeing similar problems in the UK running 3.3 on Ubuntu 18.10, from
Ubuntu repo.
The issue occurs if one tries to enter 28/10/18 in the statement date,
which is why the '-' fails.  Any other date is ok whether entered using t,
+, -, the calendar, or entering manually via the keyboard.  I see the same
error in the trace file as Richard is seeing when 28th is entered.
Richard, is it ok if you enter dates other than 28th?
It also happens if one tries to enter 29/10/17 which was also DST day.
