Thanks for all the suggestions, I finally found the problem. I had 
erroneously marked some transactions as reconciled that were outside the 
range I was trying to work on. In other words, more-or-less the common 
case you were pointing to.

Oh, and it was last reconciled in 2020, no 2000. I wasn't *that* bad :-)
