[Kmymoney] Consistency Check Messages

[Jack]

I have received these messages in the past, and I only use a single  
currency for all accounts and investments.  I don't remember for  
certain, but I do believe it was also related to dividend reinvestments  
and possible fees and/or taxes.  Although I haven't done much poking  
around or reporting on those accounts, I haven't found any problems  
related to them.
