The starting balance in the Reconcile dialog *must* be the total of
all reconciled transactions in the account. If it is not correct that
means that an error has been introduced into the accounts, that must
be corrected.  If it is considered not worth finding exactly what the
previous error is then a correction transaction can be added and
reconciled that will adjust the balance accordingly.
