[GNC] Strange behaviour

[Mahon Finbar]

Thanks all, strange indeed. I don't recall it happening before. The 
salary amount varies by 1€centime each month, pity it is not more....:-( 
so I need to change the last digit each month. Maybe I used the 'comma' 
procedure previously? Actually the crash happened before I tried to 
commit, it happened when I tried to backspace.

Roll on next build, and while I am here, enormous thanks to all the 
development team.
