[GNC] Reconciliation with a strange opening balance

[David Carlson]

One of several complications that you can run into when searching for a
reconciliation error by using the reconciliation tool is that GnuCash
leaves all previously reconciled split lines assigned to the target account
reconciled.  Thus if there are reconciled split lines dated after the
reconciliation date, they remain reconciled during your search and will be
included in the beginning balance calculation.

Recent releases of GnuCash do include a reconciliation report, but I have
never used it, so I cannot say how useful it might be in a search for
errors.
