savecore(8) increments /var/crash/bounds on each boot

[Ed Maste]

I notice that as of sbin/savecore/savecore.c 1.72 and in 5.4-RELEASE
savecore increments the number in /var/crash/bounds on each boot,
regardless of whether it rebooted due to panic or was a clean shutdown.

Is this the desired behaviour or an unintentional side effect?
We've been monitoring the value in bounds to detect panics, which
of course doesn't work anymore.
