[GNC] Gnucash Crash

[John Ralls]

GnuCash shouldn’t crash even if you do something wrong, never mind that there’s nothing wrong with crediting an Asset account.

I click on cancel and it goes back to the reconcile info.  When I try to correct the ending balance it shuts down.  I tried rebooting. But that does not help.
