Most likely, you had a corrupted entry. What you did was to create a
new, identical transaction and delete the old one.
How did the transaction become corrupted? There are a thousand
possibilities. Most likely the bank put an odd item in the transaction,
and the Money import routine didn't catch it. Later, the Money matching
routine _did_ catch it. Why one and not the other? The two routines
were probably written by two different programmers who had different
skills. And of course there's always the possibility that the database
just randomly messed it up. :)
