UPDATE to CORRECTION: Section Number resets after closing file

[Carol J. Elkins]

Okay, I have finally made the problem reproducible. (Sorry for 
innundating the list with these emails, but I'm pretty panicky right 
now because I've based an entire library of books and documents to 
rely on using the Section number in a specific type of 
cross-reference that I've defined.)

Opening/closing the files in a book have nothing to do with the 
Section number resetting to 1. What resets the Section number to 1 is 
updating the book. I've tested this now in all six books in this 
series and updating the book consistently resets the Section number 
to 1. It does NOT reset the Chapter or Volume numbering.

So, back to my original question. Can anyone else reproduce this 
behavior? If so, I'll file a bug report. Or perhaps I'm totally 
misunderstanding the role of the Section number; perhaps it is 
dependent on something else?
