(namely, why the patch is needed?) Only that it assumes that the counters for the paragraphs *up to that point* are in order. If you use per-buffer counters, you will find that this doesn't work anymore. The routine just continues counting on from the last figure in the buffer... not good. That's why you have to reset the counters and re-run the count over the *whole* buffer from the start.
