[GNC] Scheduled Transaction Mystery?

[Jack Slater]

I doubt I can reproduce since I'm sure the dates and settings contribute to
the error.  I'm guessing that if I start GnuC now it will be there.  I
think the  bug isi in the timing with the date and lead time. My specific
actions/results are in my first email.
