Katrin,

After discussion with Kyle Hall, I agree with you assessment: Closing the first
fine and creating a new fine on renewal is standard behavior for Koha. This
still leaves the issue of the second Fine not being closed. I'm going to mark
the ticket as "RESOLVED/INVALID", and open a new ticket which specifically
addresses the un-closed fine. I'll carry your comments regarding a test case
forward to the new ticket.
