[GNC] Missing 2nd entry

[David Carlson]

The capability for zero value transactions with a single account line was
permitted starting in release 3 point something iirc as hinted by
Christopher.

I  complained at the time, but it technically is not unbalanced.  The
reason it is allowed is that it can function as a vehicle for a comment
entry.

Personally,  I created a special income account in my data file for
comments specifically so I could search for them if desired, so I never
intentionally have a single line entry.  One of my credit cards creates
single line entries during an OFX import if I fail to catch it.  Argh.
