[GNC] Strange reconciliation behavior

[David Carlson]

There is a big discussion going on in the developer arena about what is
wrong with the reconciliation process in release 3.9  I suspect that you
may being an artifact of that.  They have released 3.10 in an attempt to
fix that, but if you are conservative you may want to revert to 3.8 instead.

Perhaps a developer can provide more details...
