Aggregate statistics off by 1

Hi Carter!

I investigated this a little bit further.

I have this logfile with 4 MAR records:
ra -Zb -M man -nr elof.log | grep -i man
10:28:01.149822              man                  0      0 
0      0        0        0            0            0           STA
10:28:44.149779              man                  0      0 
25749      1    69980     2839     28277263            0           CON
10:29:44.149756              man                  0      0 
25191      1    78426     3104     36560040            0           CON
10:30:44.150890              man                  0      0 
25060      1   107220     2715     37037618            0           CON

I concatenate it four times:
cat elof.log elof.log elof.log elof.log >> elof2.log

ra -Zb -M man -nr elof2.log | grep -i man
Now I have 16 MAR records.

So far everything is sane and logical.

The file has 38852 flows (I checked with wc -l).
The file has 16 MAR records.
Total records should therefore be 38868.

I now add -A :
ra -Zb -M man -A -nr elof2.log | tail -1
  Totalrecords 38868     TotalMarRecords 17        TotalFarRecords 38852 
TotalPkts 1211504  TotalBytes 462893084

So, the problem is that TotalMarRecords show 1 too much.
It should be 16.
