I dunno why, but portsnap3 had strange behaviors since the beginning.
Apart from speed (it's the slowest from here), I always had
disconnections and errors when fetching many (hundreds) updates, and
recently I saw also the very same mismatch: I thought about another
premature disconnection, but no, it fetched all the updates even if the
number was incorrect. Perhaps Colin can give us an explanation.
