[GNC] Strange Imbalance transactions

I just noticed that the account Imbalance-USD has some entries.

However, all the entries are very strange in that there is NO
corresponding second account (that is, no pair of transactions).  Each
entry has a description, but the value is zero.  If I do Show Splits,
there is no second account.

I looked at the backup files and found the date when these
transactions happened (January 11).  In looking at the corresponding
log file, I can see transactions that mention Imbalance.  But, I do
not know how to read the log file.

I have done Check and Repair All and the Imbalance-USD transactions
remain.

In looking at one of the Imbalance transactions, it corresponds to a
stock purchase.  I can see two Start/End transactions in the log file
related to that stock.  One of those two has the Imbalance.

It is possible that these transactions are related to an Import of a
QIF file (which I do each Saturday).
