- Well, just to confuse this some more, I'll throw in an oddball occurence
- just a couple days before my thesis was due a while back:
- I had used counters with labels for producing a table of contents, lists
- of tables, etc. When I generated said TOC, and lists, numbers were often
- off by 1 - 1 too high, even though the actual counter numbers on screen
- and in the printout were correct. Somehow the program extracted things wrong
- and ended up with incorrect page numbers and table numbers in the front
- matter. I have no idea why -- at that point I was near suicide (or murder,
- whichever came first) and decided to just correct the suckers by hand and
- be done with it. Clearly there is a glitch in the counters somewhere.
-
- Wanna bet it's still there in 4.0?
