[GNC] Strange behaviour

[Tony Vanson]

Seems that the comma separator is the culprit here if it is left in when
committing the altered amount. In addition I find that if I use the
backspace key to try to alter a number before committing, GnuCash shuts
down immediately, however using the backspace to delete the comma separator
works fine.
Bit more digging to do.
