Good catch, I forgot to add the template handling in there.

Glad you asked this, as I started to ask the same question myself.. The
existing code prior to this patch writes off/forgives any outstanding debt on
the overdue as opposed to the original amount of the debt.. so if the patron
has already paid or partially paid the accruing fine prior to reporting the
item as lost then only the outstanding debt will be forgiven.  I'm not sure
that logic makes sense to start with but didn't want to change it here as it
probably warrants another discussion.

This patch uses the actual forgiven credit line to restore the outstanding
amount.. so if there as a partial payment then we only restore the previously
unpaid part of the debt.

Hope that makes sense.
