Hi Seth,

After sending my response, I did some more thinking about maintenance and 
.MSG_COUNT...

Maintenance can (and will) remove individual tokens.  Doing this shouldn't 
(I think) change .MSG_COUNT.

Your example shows .MSG_COUNT being deleted because it has a low count.  As 
it's a special token, it should _never_ be deleted.  I'll fix the flaw in 
bogoutil and the corrected code will be in the next release.
