[GNC] Error deleting scheduled transaction spl

[Stephen M. Butler]

Are you going in via Actions --> Scheduled Transactions --> Scheduled 
Transaction Editor?

I did with the Accounts Tab being the only one opened.  Found a 
Scheduled Transaction with four lines (splits).  Deleted one line with 
no errors.   Cancelled.

Opened up the Account Register corresponding to the line I was going to 
delete and went back into the Scheduled Transaction Editor and deleted 
that same line again.  No Errors.  Cancelled out as unable to duplicate 
on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS running GnC Build ID: git 
5.9-57-g26e452bab7+(2024-10-27).

Is there something special about that split?  Has variables?  If the 
above scenario isn't what your doing can you post the detail steps. I'm 
running with a cmake with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Asan and 
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug so I should be able to get a good stack dump if 
I can make it fail on Ubuntu.
