Yeah, somebody must've missed their first grade math, so I made them recount.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

is almost but not 2^32 so I suspect
an underflow or some numerical conversion
error. Perhaps x++ instead of ++x or some silly
thing...
To have one thankyou tells me that he has
one post or some other pointer error that
could be more interesting.
So a silly bug...?

It happens every now and then, I haven't bothered to find out what triggers it since it's silly and I don't really care. I just run the post count recalculator and it's all good again.
