[GNC] Inconsistency Between Balance of Stock Account and Display in Accounts, File Integrity Check

[rsbrux]

ISTR that GC has a built-in file integrity checker, but I can no longer 
find out how to invoke it.

Perhaps the peculiarity mentioned below is caused by some inconsistency 
in the file.

Can someone please refresh my memory on how to perform a file integrity 
check?
