On systems with a decent amount of fines it seems the fines cron can cause
issues for patrons.

The problem seems to be:
1 - Fines job runs and selects overdues
2 - Patron with an overdue returns books, fine is updated, item is checked in
3 - Fines job iterates to the item that was checked in during step 2, sees
there is no accruing fine, generates a new accruing fine

I am not sure what the best solution here is, possibly we should confirm the
issue before generating the fine in the cronjob?
