[GNC] Scary moment

Versions are a little confusing.... Mac was running 4.12 until today; I am
now on the current version.

I updated the Windows version earlier this week.

Linux GnuCash is older (4.<something>), but I don't run the GUI there -
usually just the gnucash-cli stock updates, which I updated on Thursday
from whatever it was.

For now, I'm going to avoid running the gnucash-cli updates... I only
caught the missing checks because of the tax work I was doing; I'm rather
scared about what else may have been lost.

Also, I've closed and re-opened GnuCush on both Windows and Mac multiple
times, and the transactions are there, like I expect (but I haven't run the
stock price update)
