In a certain niche situation, a patron can end up with an unexpected fine due
to renewing a book just prior to returning it. Here's the situation:

- Patron has a book due on a Saturday and doesn't return it
- On Sunday, the library is closed
- Early Sunday morning, the fines cron generates an accruing fine on the item
- Patron puts the item in the bookdrop on Sunday
- Patron renews the item via the OPAC on Sunday
- At renewal, the fine changes from FU to F
- Monday morning, the item is checked in via bookdrop mode, which back-dates
the checkin to Saturday

According to the old_issues table, the item was checked in before any fine was
charged, but the fine remains on the patron's account. If the patron had not
renewed the item, the fine would have remained FU and would have been forgiven
on checkin.
