Aggregate statistics off by 1

[elof2 at sentor.se]

Hi Carter!

I don't understand how _not_ counting someting yields 1 too much. :-)

Anyhow, I think that all MAR records that exist in the file should be 
counted and TotalMarRecords show the correct sum.

In my example, TotalMarRecords should be 16, not 17.
